Is there a honda/acura ecu immo off shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?

Does California vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
California requires a biennial Smog Check emissions inspection in most counties through the BAR program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all California and federal requirements.
What about 2018+ Honda / Acura?
2018+ Hondas use newer immobilizer architecture that our current bench process doesn't cover by mail-in. Text us your year and we'll let you know if we can support it.
Will the check-engine light come on?
No. The removal is specifically designed to NOT trigger emissions-readiness or check-engine codes. The ECU operates as if there's no immobilizer system.
