Help! Need an ESL emulator and programming

Need help! What is a good ESL emulator and who does programming in US. I am in Indiana, so closer is better. Also realize I have the world's best selection of any pick-up truck part or camo apparel and accessories at my fingertips. So 'local' is not an option here.

Thanks,
chad

I used PresserTech out of Atlanta. Sent my key & EIS and within a couple of days I had these returned with the emulator (old ESL on the left, emulator on the right).

So, do you send one key so they can copy/clone the ID from your key (into) the emulator? And when you get the emulator it works with any key/s you kept at home and didn't send it?

I sent one key plus the EIS, and PresserTech sent these back with emulator. I only have one key. My understanding is that the EIS validates the key and, if the pairing is valid, unlocks the ESL (or provides the signal to the emulator). I would think that any keys you do not send would still work since the key only pairs with the EIS, not the ESL (emulator). But you might want to check.
