Trade rates availableEvery W212 job starts by reading the EIS to confirm immobiliser state and existing key count. From there we programme via OBD, no module removal needed for most jobs.
Connect to OBD, read the EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch) — confirms current key count, immobiliser state, and extracts the cryptographic data needed to programme new keys.
Pre-coded Mercedes fob (OEM or aftermarket — your choice). For all-keys-lost we generate a fresh key dataset from the EIS read. For spare keys we copy the existing key's authorization.
Programme the fob, pair it to the EIS, verify start/lock/unlock and (for keyless cars) passive entry. Old lost keys are disabled at the same time for security.
Mobile key programming covers most modern marques and immobiliser systems. These are the makes we programme keys for most often:
