How long does shipping take from Connecticut to your Arlington TX workshop?

Do you accept bmw fem/bdc bricked-module recovery modules from Connecticut?
Yes — we receive modules from Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford and the rest of Connecticut regularly. With about 2.9 million registered vehicles statewide, European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) are the bulk of what we see from Connecticut.
Is there a bmw fem/bdc bricked-module recovery shop in Hartford I should use instead?
Most Hartford shops don't keep the bench equipment for bmw fem/bdc bricked-module recovery — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Connecticut vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Connecticut requires a biennial OBD-II emissions inspection for most vehicles statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Connecticut and federal requirements.
What happens in the 20% where the data cannot be recovered?
The same $350 covers plan B: we virginize and adapt a replacement FEM/BDC (new or used — you supply it, or ask us about sourcing) to your car. That requires the ISN, which we read from your DME or extract from a previously working key — which is why we recommend shipping the DME and any working key with the module. If neither recovery nor adaptation is possible with what you can send, we tell you before doing further work — you are not charged for a repair we cannot deliver.
Will my existing keys still work?
After a successful data restore — yes, everything comes back exactly as it was before the failed session. After a replacement adaptation, we pair the replacement to your car's ISN and program your key to it; spare keys may need to be re-added.
