OBD Lowering Module - VIN specific?

Does anyone know if the OBD lowering modules are tied to a specific VIN?
When ordering they ask for VIN but I believe that is just for compatibility.
My son sold his 15 S550 and wants to give me his lowering module so hoping it works. If not tied to a specific VIN, I fear it might be for a specific version of COMAND and my 12 CLS550 is likely different.
Of course I could just try it but since he lives across the country I’m hoping to find out before we bother to ship it.

Hey George, I think once you've plugged them in and installed, they are VIN specific. I'm willing to bet you could pay them to reset it though. Marv

Thanks Marv, I’ll call the company tomorrow to confirm.
