Mercedes IR proximity keys + Sprinter blanks - programmed on-site.
Mercedes-Benz key replacement is similar to BMW: dealer pricing is high ($585 - $1,100 depending on model), a tow is usually required, and the wait can be 3 - 7 days. Premier handles Mercedes on-site in Delray Beach.
Mercedes uses an infrared (IR) proximity key system with the FBS3 or FBS4 (newer) immobilizer. The fob handshakes with the EIS (electronic ignition switch) through IR; the EIS authenticates against the engine ECU. Programming is done through the OBD-II diagnostics port with the Mercedes-specific scanner.
We carry Mercedes blanks and the appropriate scanner for the W205 (2014 - 2021 C-Class), W213 (E-Class 2017+), W167 (GLE 2020+), W447 (V-Class), and Sprinter vans on every truck. Total typical job: $385 - $785, 60 - 120 minutes on-site.
Honest, flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll. Service call fee is waived when you book the job.
