Is there a mercedes me9.7 / med17 ecu clone shop in Charlotte I should use instead?

Does North Carolina vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
North Carolina requires an annual safety inspection statewide, with OBD-II emissions testing in a set of more populous counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all North Carolina and federal requirements.
Why can't I just bolt in a used Mercedes ECU?
ME9.7 and MED17 ECUs store the car's VIN and FBS3 immobilizer data inside the module and are locked to the EIS and keys. A used ECU carries another car's data, so it won't authenticate. Cloning copies your original's data onto the donor.
What exactly gets copied during a clone?
The full operational dataset - VIN, FBS3 immobilizer data, injector coding, and learned adaptations. The donor comes back as a 1:1 replacement that installs plug-and-play.
