Do you accept mercedes fbs4 dsm / ism cloning (2013+) modules from Texas?
Yes — we receive modules from Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin and the rest of Texas regularly. With about 22.8 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Texas.
Is there a mercedes fbs4 dsm / ism cloning (2013+) shop in Houston I should use instead?
Most Houston 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. Same-state — fastest possible round-trip.
Does Texas vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Texas requires an annual safety inspection program statewide, with OBD-II emissions testing in 17 metro counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Texas and federal requirements.
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.
Can you do the FBS4 EIS or make me a key?
No — and anyone claiming to is not being straight with you. There is currently no aftermarket tool for FBS4 EIS or key programming; that is dealer-only. We clone DSM/ISM, which is the part that is actually doable, and we are upfront about the rest.
