Advanced Mercedes Key Technology, Made Simple
Mercedes keys aren’t “just keys”. They contain a transponder chip and, on many models, a smart proximity system that talks to your car’s immobiliser. Here’s how we support that technology:
- Transponder key programming: We pair new keys to your car so the immobiliser recognises them
- Smart key programming: For keyless entry and push-to-start systems, we add and sync proximity keys
- ECU/immobiliser programming: We carry out ECU and immobiliser pairing and reset where needed
- OBD2 and EEPROM solutions: For certain models or circumstances, we use OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM programming to securely create or restore keys when data access is required
- Key repair and refurbishment: Switch/board repairs, key blade replacement, and housing fixes can restore functionality cost-effectively
We use dealer-level diagnostics tailored for Mercedes-Benz platforms, ensuring the right procedure for your specific model and year.

FAQs: Mercedes-Benz Keys and Locks
Can you make a Mercedes key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Mercedes key without the original by reading vehicle data via OBD2 or, when necessary, using EEPROM methods. We’ll confirm the exact process for your model and year.
Do I have to go to a Mercedes dealer for a new key?
Not necessarily. In many cases, a specialist auto locksmith can supply, cut, and program a Mercedes key at your location, often faster and more conveniently than a dealer. Learn about our car key programming.
Will you damage my Mercedes when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock has failed internally and a destructive method is unavoidable, we’ll explain the options and costs before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a working Mercedes key?
It depends on model, key type (flip/smart), and immobiliser system. Many jobs are completed in one mobile visit. We’ll advise timings when you request a quote.
My Mercedes says “Key Not Detected”. Can you help?
Yes. We’ll test the key battery, check the key’s transponder communication, and diagnose proximity antenna and immobiliser issues. If needed, we can repair or replace and reprogram the key.
Do you cover Mercedes vans like Vito and Sprinter?
Absolutely. We provide key replacement, programming, and unlocking for Mercedes Vito, V-Class, and Sprinter, including fleet and commercial setups. See our van and commercial locksmith service.
