In need of a central gateway module programmed

My original module has corrosion in it, so I bought a new one from the dealer. I was going to have them program it bc the service writer told me it was under $200 to program it but when i called to schedule the appointment, they don't work on any cars over 10 years old. With that said, I need to have it programed ASAP bc I'm selling the car to a friend. Who can help? I've tried to contact Benzninja a few times but for some reason, that hasn't gone anywhere. Located in Louisiana if anyone is local.
thanks
Ramon

Find someone local who has STAR/DAS/Xentry, pull the data from old module if possible and load into new module. If old module inaccessible, pull data card from internet and program manually.
Slightly scary but doable.

Crazy thing is I have one but a buddy gave it to me but he didn't know how to use it and I haven't messed with it. Was going to see if anyone was interested in it.
