Is there a mercedes esl motor repair & clone shop in Fargo I should use instead?

Does North Dakota vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
North Dakota has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all North Dakota and federal requirements.
Does the donor ESL have to come from the same model?
It needs to be the correct ESL hardware for the W204/W207/W212/X204 FBS3 family. It does not need to be VIN-matched because the clone writes your data onto it. Send your VIN and we confirm before you mail it.
How is this different from an ESL emulator?
An emulator throws away the OEM steering lock and fakes the signals. This service keeps your genuine Mercedes ESL - we rebuild the failed motor and gears, or clone its data to a matching donor. You stay 100% OEM and integrated with your EIS and keys.
