HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MERCEDES KEYS?
Mercedes is one of the very few manufacturers who have used a tiny variation of keys over the years. From early 2000, the plastic Mercedes remote key used proved popular used across all range of Mercedes vehicles. Later, this has been updated to a more stylish chrome finish version.
From the mid-1990s Mercedes keys integrated the immobiliser function and the flip-out remote key. This way, only a key programmed to a specific vehicle can enable engine start.
Mercedes have integrated electronic ignition switches known as EIS – an electronic unit that holds the data of keys programmed. Another anti-theft device introduced was electric steering column locks known as ESL on most of their models.
Drivers will think of their closest dealership as their first option when in need of a Mercedes key replacement. To have a new Mercedes key from a dealer means paying for the car to be towed there. Sometimes this has to be twice, once when the order is placed then again once when key arrives and needs initializing. At a dealership, you will need to present several documents to order the replacement key and have to wait up to 10 working days.
Car Keys Solutions can supply Mercedes keys on the spot, including ESL replacement mobile and EIS repair and programming – most of the time, on the same day. Our services are mobile with minimum inconvenience and at a fraction of the cost compared to the main dealerships.
It is impossible to clone or override keyless Mercedes Keys. The immobilizer chip is encrypted with a sophisticated coding system that can only be read and programmed with the latest diagnostic equipment.
HOW DO MERCEDES KEYS WORK?
Mercedes models from the mid-1990s use the remote signal to operate central locking and disable the immobiliser system. Those keys have no transponder chip.
Most Mercedes keys used later work slightly different to other car keys when it comes to the immobiliser system. They send an infrared signal to the electronic ignition switch, that upon recognising the message, enables engine start.
Car Keys Solutions provides you with roadside car key replacement and offers a service suitable for all Mercedes vehicles that are on the road – whether it’s a car or van. There are several problems that you may come across when it comes to Mercedes vehicles including keys locked inside, faulty keys, defective steering column lock, key duplications or even electronic ignition switch failure. No matter where you are, our Mercedes specialists can come to you in an emergency, or at a time that suits you by appointment.

Mercedes Spare Keys
If you have bought your car second hand, you may only have been given one car key to start the engine. If you need a Mercedes spare key, we can carry out a quick car key duplication service for you on the same day service. It’s always advised to have a spare Mercedes key, in case one of them gets broken or lost in the future. Creating a spare key by using an auto locksmith when there is one operating could significantly save you on a new Mercedes key cost. It is always easier to create a replacement key when there is one available, compared to having a new one made when all keys are lost.
Mercedes Key Programming
If you have a Mercedes model that was manufactured after 1995, then it is likely that your Mercedes keys will have a transponder chip. Sometimes, those key chips may stop operating and will need expert, diagnostic equipment to work again. If it is beyond repair, we can program a new Mercedes key on the spot.
An incorrectly programmed Mercedes key will prevent the engine from starting.
