Do you accept vw/audi cluster key programming modules from South Carolina?

Is there a vw/audi cluster key programming shop in Charleston I should use instead?
Most Charleston shops don't keep the bench equipment for vw/audi cluster key programming — 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-region southeast — about 2-3 days each way.
Does South Carolina vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
South Carolina has no 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 South Carolina and federal requirements.
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.
Do you need the door lock to cut a key?
For a blade cut on an all-keys-lost job, yes — send a door lock cylinder or your key code so we can cut the blade. If you already have a cut key to program, you don't need the lock.
