Is there a chrysler skim / sentry key delete shop in Chicago I should use instead?

Does Illinois vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Illinois requires emissions testing in the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis areas; downstate counties are exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Illinois and federal requirements.
Will my car start with a regular key after the delete?
Yes. Once the SKIM routine is removed the PCM no longer needs a transponder challenge, so both chipped Sentry keys and plain non-security keys will start the engine.
Which PCM do I have — SBEC, JTEC, or NGC?
Roughly: SBEC3/3A+ on 1998-2004 cars and minivans, JTEC on 1998-2004 trucks/Jeep, and NGC from about 2003 on. We confirm the family from your part number when it arrives.
