Can I replace ALL locked modules?

Hello, I have several questions.
Could I replace all the modules in a 2008 GL320 that are locked together, ie; ism, ezs, sam front, sam, rear sam so no re-programming would be required?
If so, where could I find a list of all the modules that are locked to each other?

Thank you kindly.

Most of the modules designated as a "Theft relevant part" in Mercedes EPC probably needs programming and should only be installed at an authorised dealer.

I have done this with a W204, its a pain in the @$$, you need to change transmission shifter, transmission conductor plate, ignition key and lock, ECU, instrument cluster, Radio, Sam modules, airbag module, plus you have to make sure the donor is exactly the same as the car your putting it in (standard features), I may have missed a couple of things but it was a nightmare, would have been easier to have the original modules virginised and reprogrammed.

For what its worth to do the job, you are better of just repairing whatever is wrong with your car.

There are third parties who can code modules to your vin via mail in services.
