Not all car manufacturers use computer-reliant key systems. Many modern cars, including Mercedes models, however, do use smart key systems that allow owners to remotely lock or unlock to doors or start the car before getting in. A common problem for Mercedes owners, though, is lost keys and finding a replacement.
Replacements for Lost Key Fobs
When Mercedes-Benz owners lose a key fob, replacement keys are not easy to come by without making a trip to the dealership. Mercedes key programming is one of the easiest and quickest ways to get a replacement fob in the case of a broken or lost key or the need for a backup replacement key.
Replacement Key Programming Systems
While a used key or a new key without synchronization can be programmed as a replacement for a Mercedes-Benz smart key, it’s not an easy thing to do. The process can involve such tasks as removing the fob’s main chip and erasing the memory and other specific items.
Mercedes key programming by a specialist in vehicle diagnostics and security is made possible by key programming software. These systems can work according to specific vehicle manufacturers and create replacement or replica smart keys for various car types.
