Default PCM from Autozone

Looks like i need a new PCM dealership is obviously expensive autozone has one for $203.99. My question has anyone gotten a PCM through autozone or any other reputable auto parts store before and did they send it preflashed or would i need to take it to my dealership to be flashed?

I don't know about their PCMs, but they did send my transmission for my Rx7 out to Midwest Transmission and they rebuilt it cheaper than I could have if I bought the parts and did it myself. I've been abusing it for 2 years now and there's still another year on the warranty. Give them a go. They're just the middle man that's going to get you a better deal anyway.

I purchased my replacement ECM from Flagship One.. They flashed the vin and mileage and sent it ready for plug and play. They verified the replacement by VIN# and by part #. Paid $200 and it has a lifetime warranty.
Hope this helps...
