Is there a vw/audi med17/me17 immo delete + vin shop in Providence I should use instead?
Most Providence shops don't keep the bench equipment for vw/audi med17/me17 immo delete + vin — 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 northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Rhode Island vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Rhode Island requires a biennial combined safety and OBD-II emissions inspection statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Rhode Island and federal requirements.
My VW Jetta cluster (24C64 EEPROM) got damaged when another locksmith tried to make a key — can you still get the car running?
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons people send us their ECU. We disable the immobilizer at the ECU level which bypasses the damaged cluster entirely. The car will crank and run normally with no working cluster and no matched keys required. Common on 2011-2016 VW Jetta and many other VW/Audi models that use a 24C64 EEPROM in the instrument cluster.
Will this fix a car that won't crank at all?
No. This service is for vehicles where the engine starts briefly then shuts down due to immobilizer coding (P1570, P0513). It will not fix a completely dead or no-crank vehicle.
