Hi,
I carrefuly read your instruction on keyless go card to key convertion.
Thank you for this great work)
But I have one question:
Will these manipulations work with my 2000 cl600 vin: WDB2153781A007841,
My mechanic is afraid that a new key with keyless go support and a module A2305451232 do not connect to my old EIS control moduleese and keyless go antenna?
I understend that you tested this upgrade on your 2003 cl600, is there any differense with EIS system of my older car?
Thank you again)
there is no reason that it doesn't work if you already have a card keyless go that it would not work
good luck !
All keyless cards are unfortunately lost, and i hope that your advice will help to restore the keyless go system.
The another way - use second hand EIS lock with cards, but ECU and shift selector wil not work with it whitout additional cheating.

You don't need the old cards
they go with the old unit
you can trash cards with the old unit if you have those
I called the dealership today and asked about the key and they said they can't guarantee that they would send the correct key for my vin, or the one I was asking for. Either way it was $460 canadian bucks and no returns. I then thought maybe I should just buy the card because that is what I am missing. They sell those for $680 bucks.
I wonder if some pirate can code my vin to the new ebay keys I bought?
Mercedes always say this, there is no risk, only risk is not to get the right frequency
this key should be yours A230 766 03 06 9999
this key should work as I ordered this one and it was US frequency and I had it converted by changing the crystal after
even if your key is not the right frequency, you can change the crystal yourself from a used right frequency key by swap
that doesn't affect the vin
the rest has to be done with the Xentry Das software and Sdconnect diagnostic tool (some people never use LOL ) but you have now
Ok
here is the easy and cheap solution for the key
forget about Mercedes
Get a used keyless go key from a W215 2005+
take your old key, swap the NEC chip, done
You will still need to swap rear module (that contains absolutely NO vin or serial info)
and activate with Xentry DAS (the tool some people never use LOL)
And it is a 315 Mhz frequency, which should be correct.
lol
Looks not good for Nec Chip swap
neither they look like having keyless go ( no antenna on the board)
see a same board key on sale here, they don't mention keyless go https://www.ebay.com/itm/YH-Smart-Re...YAAOSwokJacA19
I've gone ahead and ordered a black KG replacement key from the dealer, with part # A2307660106 9999 (EU 433mhz key as I have an EU vehicle)
I put said key in the ignition after starting the new replacement key procedure on Star Diagnosis, and the cluster will display 'Computing Data Please Wait'.
But after 20 minutes, the 'Computing' message dissappears.. Still, I've left it on for 4 and a half hours and no luck - key won't turn in ignition at all.
Star Diagnosis flags an EZS fault which occurs after the 'Computing Data Please Wait' message disappears, the fault is as follows:
B1012 Output Circuit 15
Could anyone shed some light? Any idea what could be wrong?

Cheers
there is no replacement procedure to do
you just needed to add a key in a free slot
So for all readers:
Remember when you order the key
read with Xentry Das what keytrack is free
this MUST be from 1-5 ONLY the retrofit does NOT work with tracks 6-8
if you have no free track from 1-5 forget it you need to get one free with MB dealer or good locksmith having Arbrites or Xhorse
Once you know what track is free tell mercedes dealer you want it programmed to that free track
keys come CODED only so no extra fees
A2307660106 9999 is a unprogrammed key without any VIN info. I would be surprised if this will work. OEM? Which dealer?
No
mercedes benz dealers do not provide unprogrammed keys
when you order, they come programmed, never from stock, only on special order and ONLY programmed in germany
that's what i heard too. But 9999 means unprogrammed, right? Shouldn't he order 0041 or if a certain track must be used i.e. 0032 or 0042?
maybe yes
all I know is that you go to the dealer abd order that key, they ask what car and you must mention what track
If you have the right number post it, you will be responsible if wrong, if not, this does not worth writing and writing here for no purpose
just do what I said and you'll be fine and it will work
Just wanted to say special thanks to @pmercury for taking all the time and hassle to help me out, and the rest of users on this post as my KG functionality is now working fully
I did find though that the key I ordered was not unprogrammed, as 126.044 mentioned, it was in fact assigned to track 8 when I received it.
As an additional note I just wanted to ask - my starter seems to either stay engaged for too long (still cranks for a few seconds after engine is started) or too little (disengages before engine gets to start) when using Keyless Go. Would anyone happen to know what could cause this?
Also since I bought the car I did notice when using the key in the ignition to start it (Position 3), I have to wait until the engine has started before I can put the key back in to position 2, otherwise starting will be interrupted - is that normal? car is MY 2000.
My other car does not behave like this, I.E as soon as the key is turned to position 3 it will do the starting automatically even if I let go of the key back to position 2..
By the way, I just wanted to add - beware of buying a second hand keyless go key, with the intention of trying to swap the NEC chip from your old regular key -
While this procedure would work if we were talking about a regular non keyless go key, to another non keyless go key, in my case the NEC chip type was different for black Keyless Go key A2307660106.
I tried swapping NEC's twice with no luck so be warned. It was incompatible and I had no idea about this, thought it was bad soldering at first.
In case you are wondering, the NEC chip found on the black KG key that I ordered was: NEC 00032094

I doubt that this swap will work, too. However the combination "NEC 00032094" is, from what i know, for MB OEM-key, not possible. Do you have a photo of this chip fixed on the board?

Just took these two pictures, first one is KG key, and the second one is the chrome key which I tried taking the NEC from. When I did the swap, the key's LED would flash red once as soon as it had the battery inserted and then didn't respond to button presses or would flash the LED very faintly ocassionally, it even drained the cr2025.. which is why I thought it was bad soldering.. As soon as I undid the swap, everything worked fine again..
interesting, what works and has been tested is swap the NEC from non working key to a used ebay same Keyless go incorporated key. that avoids to pay MB for a new key.
here is the easy and cheap solution for the key forget about Mercedes Get a used ke
