Only work around is to bench unlock, and there's few people that actually do this meaning there no chance in hell someone in Alabama can do it.
Have you checked with Dinan? Their HQ is in Opelika. They unlock DMEs for their own BMW flash tunes. I don't see why they couldn't do a bench unlock for you without having to buy a tune from them.
