Is there a mercedes fbs4 dsm / ism cloning (2013+) shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?
Most Los Angeles shops don't keep the bench equipment for mercedes fbs4 dsm / ism cloning (2013+) — 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 west — about 2-3 days each way.
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.
How does the flat price work across all these years?
The $450 covers the full FBS4 clone for the standard DSM/ISM applications listed. You supply the original, donor, EIS and key; we confirm the donor match by part number before any work, so the price is fixed before we start.
Why do I have to send a donor, my EIS, and a key?
FBS4 cloning is a complete data transfer, not a simple adaptation — we read your original and write it to the donor, and the EIS plus a working key let us verify drive authorization on the bench before it ships. Match the donor part number as closely as you can and we confirm it first.
