E55 Shifter
My shift assembly took a crap. I have talked to a MBZ specialist near me and they said that its a "theft device" and can only be programmed once or something along those lines. I understood it as
1. Once from the factory
2. once when it is removed from the original vehicle.
Any advice?

It needs to be coded by a dealer to remove the transport protection due to it being a theft relivent part. The new one that is.

Honestly plug and play, didnt get any codes or warnings on the dash. This is temporary to just start the car. I dont even think the shifter plays into the security system like the W220. I ordered another shifter and its on its way.
