Kentucky FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Kentucky.

How long does shipping take from Kentucky to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Louisville, KY reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2 business days. USPS Priority routes northeast through the Central network; typically 2 days. We start work the same day your module arrives and ship back next business day at the return speed you chose at checkout.
How much does it cost to ship a module from Kentucky?
USPS Priority flat-rate from Kentucky to Arlington TX runs about $11. The customer pays shipping to us; return shipping back to Kentucky is selected at checkout — $24.95 standard (3-5 business days), $54.95 UPS 2-Day, or $94.95 UPS Next Day Air, flat nationwide. Cross-region northeast — about 2 days each way.
Do you accept bmw fem/bdc bricked-module recovery modules from Kentucky?
Yes — we receive modules from Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro and the rest of Kentucky regularly. With about 4.2 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Kentucky.
Is there a bmw fem/bdc bricked-module recovery shop in Louisville I should use instead?
Most Louisville 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-region northeast — about 2 days each way.
Does Kentucky vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Kentucky has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program for most passenger vehicles. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Kentucky and federal requirements.
Do I have to send the DME and a key?
Not for the recovery attempt itself. But if recovery fails, the adaptation path needs the DME ISN or a previously working key — so including them up front means we can go straight to plan B instead of waiting on a second package. Pack each module padded, connectors protected, in one box.
Is this the same as your $150 FEM/BDC key programming service?
No. The $150 service programs keys on a HEALTHY module. This one repairs a corrupted module — firmware reconstruction, data recovery, and (if needed) replacement adaptation are substantially more bench work, which is what the $350 flat covers.
