🔑 MERCEDES-BENZ VINTAGE REMOTE KEY SERVICE

In-Store Programming for W202 & W210 (FBS2/FBS3 Infrastructure)


✨ SERVICE OVERVIEW

Professional in-store programming for late-90s and early-2000s Mercedes-Benz classic sedans. These vehicles utilize the early SmartKey® infrared technology. Whether you have the early "Flip" style or the first generation "Black Plastic" infrared key, we provide a full programming solution to get your Mercedes back on the road.

Our service includes a new high-quality remote key, precision cutting of the emergency metal blade, and diagnostic synchronization with your vehicle's Electronic Ignition Switch (EIS).


🚘 VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY

This service is specifically dedicated to the following classic Mercedes-Benz chassis:

  • C-Class (Sedan)

    • C230, C280, C43 AMG (W202): 1998 – 2000

  • E-Class (Sedan & Wagon)

    • E300, E320, E430, E55 AMG (W210): 1999 – 2002 (Includes final production year)

  • CLK-Class (Coupe & Cabriolet)

    • CLK320, CLK430, CLK55 AMG (W208): 1998 – 2002

⚠️ TECHNICAL NOTE: For these specific years, Mercedes-Benz transitioned from the mechanical "Flip" key to the Infrared SmartKey®. This service is for vehicles equipped with the DAS 3 / FBS3 ignition (the plastic key hole with no metal teeth visible).


📦 WHAT IS INCLUDED

  • New Remote SmartKey®: High-quality replacement infrared fob (Lock, Unlock, Trunk, Panic).

  • Emergency Key Cutting: Precision cutting of the mechanical "S-Blade" to ensure you can still access the car if the battery dies.

  • In-Store Programming: Specialized synchronization with the vehicle's early-generation EIS module.

  • Battery Included: Pre-installed and tested.


🚨 IN-STORE REQUIREMENTS

Because these early systems require a physical "handshake" between the key and the ignition to authorize the rolling codes:

  1. 📍 THE VEHICLE MUST BE PRESENT: We must connect our specialized hardware to the vehicle's diagnostic port at our shop: 2035 Victory Blvd, Staten Island, NY 10314.

  2. All Keys Lost: We specialize in recovery for these models. If you have no working keys, please call us to discuss the specific procedure.

  3. Proof of Ownership: A valid Driver's License and Vehicle Registration/Title are mandatory.


💳 PRICING & BOOKING

  • Web Special: Discounted pricing is reserved for prepaid online orders.

  • In-Store Rate: Standard retail rates apply for walk-in customers.

  • Duration: These older modules can be delicate; service typically takes 60 minutes.
