I did all the good hard work + I'm struggling right at where we have to take the EIS out. After I took out the clock spring, there is a small plastic bezel with a cloth-like material on it that I have to take out to get better access to the eis. Eis. And to take that out I have to take out the Walnut finish panel above the glove box, and take out the bezel under the instrument cluster and then release this plastic piece and get access to the eis comfortably. Hopefully that is. And these German cars are a pain in the ass
EIS mist be programmed by a special shop if they have the appropriate license from Mercedes to program keys and these Switches or the next step would be the Actual Dealership. Also a new Switch would mean the dealer would need to program new keys unfortunately... Otherwise you cannot use this EIS. Thanks and Good Luck! 🤞💪👍
Yes this is the switch that you need to program through the Dealer if you need to replace it. I was only pulling this one to try to repair it... Thanks! 🤞💪👍
I’m going to get an emulator put in mine. I’m just going to follow your steps to take the ignition switch out, have an emulator made, and have someone take the ESL off and I should be good as new. Thanks for the video! 😊
Yes it was the ignition switch. The customer took the vehicle to the dealer because we don't have a special license to buy these EIS from Mercedes and install because they come with new keys and that requires a special license from Mercedes. This is to protect themselves from thieves who wanna get access to their programs and keys! Thanks...

Yes these are not easy to take out... Thanks and Good Luck! 🤞💪👍
do i have to reprogram the key once i put a new one it or does it just automatically reconnect it self ?
Every time you replace the EIS the keys must be reprogrammed unfortunately. Thanks! 👍
Did you have to program the switch to the car or is it plug and play? Thanks. Super helpful, having this same issue

Good to know. Thanks

Happy to help! Thanks for your support! 👍
I don’t think you need to have the esl taken off if you hook up the emulator while it’s unlocked. Right?
Yea, but my ESL is in the locked position ☹️
Did you figure out the problem
