Is there a vw/audi cluster key programming shop in Birmingham I should use instead?

Does Alabama vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Alabama has no mandatory 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 Alabama and federal requirements.
What exactly do I mail in?
The instrument cluster (dashboard) in most cases, or the Kessy module on push-button keyless-start cars. Include any keys you have and your VIN.
Will this work on a Golf 7 or newer A3 (MQB)?
Those use the immo5/MQB architecture where security lives across several modules — a different process. Send us your VIN before shipping and we'll tell you honestly if it fits.
