The data that is specific to your car is on a single ic. From what I understand it is not reprogrammable in the immobilizer (not eeprom). Rather, the DME can be programmed to it. What Q does is de-solder and transfer that little piece of magic from one immobilizer unit to another.
Sure that the great-and-powerful Nine8Six can do it selfie. Just opening a box I only see 2 ic's of interest and I already know it isn't the bigger of the two.
Not the case...the EEPROM is read/write. This is personal experience, not speculation. Certain people that repair these immobilizers at a rate of hundred$ for 10 minutes of work don't want the average Joe to know how simple it is.

As I stated, I just walked someone through the process via text message. It is very simple. His car is now running great and all immobilizer functions are back to normal.
{part# removed}...exact # varies by model.
