E-Class keys.
Every W212 variant covered.

The W212 E-Class family covers four distinct bodystyles — saloon, estate, coupé and convertible — all sharing the same FBS3 key platform. Most jobs straightforward on the driveway via the EIS.

01 / W212 Saloon

E-Class W212 saloon.

The volume-selling W212 saloon (2009-2016). Spare keys, all-keys-lost via EIS. Includes pre-facelift (2009-2013) and facelift (2013-2016) variants — same key platform throughout. E63 AMG also covered.

Pre & post-facelift
02 / S212 Estate

S212 Estate.

The W212 estate variant — popular family hauler. Same EIS, same key procedures as the saloon. All-keys-lost and spare keys both handled on the driveway. Most jobs 60-100 minutes.

Family-hauler key work
03 / W207 Coupé

W207 E-Class Coupé.

The 2-door E-Class coupé (2009-2016) — confusingly numbered W207 rather than W212. Same key platform as the saloon. Same EIS procedures, same pricing.

W207 platform
04 / A207 Cabriolet

A207 Cabriolet.

The convertible E-Class (2010-2016) — A207. Same FBS3 system as the rest of the W212 family. All-keys-lost via EIS, spare keys on the driveway. AMG variants included.

Cabriolet covered
05 / E63 AMG

E63 AMG keys.

E63 AMG saloon and estate (W212/S212 platform). Same key procedure as the rest of the range. We programme AMG variants regularly — same software, same prices as the standard cars.

06 / Trade & salvage

W212 rebuilds.

W212 rebuilds are common — parts plentiful, repairs economical. Full key programming plus EIS adaptation for trade and salvage work. Trade rates for repeat business.

Read EIS first.
Then programme.

Every 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.

  1. 01

    Read the EIS

    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.

  2. 02

    Prepare the new fob

    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.

  3. 03

    Programme & verify

    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.

E-Class keys, explained.

How much is a W212 E-Class spare key?
£220-£320 including the fob, programming and a 12-month warranty. All-keys-lost £400-£550. We confirm fixed pricing from your registration up front — message us via WhatsApp for a quote within minutes.
Is the W212 FBS3 or FBS4?
W212 is FBS3 — fully within our coverage. The W213 (the E-Class that replaced it from 2016) is FBS4 and requires dealer-server access. Send your registration if unsure and we'll confirm.
Do you cover the W207 coupé and A207 cabriolet?
Yes — both share the W212 EIS platform despite the different chassis numbers. Same key procedures, same pricing. We do them regularly.
My W212 E63 AMG has key/start issues — same procedure as the regular E-Class?
Identical — the E63 uses the same EIS and key system as the rest of the W212 range. 5.5 V8 or 6.2 V8 engine doesn't change the key work. We programme AMG variants regularly.
Can you do all-keys-lost on a W212 with a flat battery?
Yes — but the battery needs replacing or jumping first because we need 12V power to talk to the EIS via OBD. We can bring a power supply if needed. Most jobs include a quick battery health check.
Do you cover the W212 facelift (2013-2016) as well as the pre-facelift?
Yes — same EIS platform throughout the W212 production run. The 2013 facelift changed the styling but not the key system.
What if I've lost all my keys to my car?
No problem — we can programme a new key from scratch with no working key needed. We come to wherever the car is parked, programme a transponder and remote on the driveway, and verify everything works before leaving. Most all-keys-lost jobs are completed in 60–120 minutes on site. See our dedicated All Keys Lost page for emergency details.
Will the new key be a genuine OEM key or aftermarket?
Both options available. Aftermarket keys are good quality, identical function, lower cost — the most popular choice. Genuine OEM (manufacturer-branded) keys are available on request at slightly higher cost. We discuss both options when you enquire.
Do existing keys still work after a new one is programmed?
Yes by default — adding a new key doesn't disable existing ones. If you've lost a key and want the missing one disabled for security (so it can't be used to steal the car if found), we can do that during the same visit. All-keys-lost jobs automatically clear any previously-programmed keys.
Do you cover my make and model?
BMW (E-series, F-series, G-series), MINI, Audi, VW, SEAT, Skoda, Mercedes, Porsche, Ford, Vauxhall, Land Rover, Jaguar, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and most modern Japanese and Korean marques. Send the registration over and we'll confirm before booking.
Where do you cover for mobile key programming?
DashTech Services is based in Wimbledon, South-West London. We cover London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and the wider South-East within an 80-mile radius for same-day mobile work. Pre-booked jobs further afield are also welcome — get in touch.
