Mercedes-Benz car key replacement, done at the roadside
In Ottawa, C-Class and GLC. Urban Locksmith cuts Mercedes-Benz keys to your VIN and programs them at the vehicle, covering 35 Mercedes-Benz models across the 2001 to 2026 model years. Worth knowing before you call: anything from roughly 2017 with FBS4 is dealer-only for keys, and we say so on the phone.
2001-2008 Mercedes-Benz keys
FBS3 infrared keys on many models, plus conventional transponders.
2009-2016 Mercedes-Benz keys
FBS3 across the range, with keyless-go on higher trims.
2017-2026 Mercedes-Benz keys
FBS4, which is dealer-restricted in most circumstances.
The Mercedes-Benz immobiliser and what it means for your key
Mercedes-Benz vehicles use the Mercedes FBS / DAS. Because the immobiliser and the key must recognise each other, cutting a blade alone is never enough. The key has to be paired to your specific vehicle. Consequently Urban Locksmith programs on site rather than simply cutting metal. FBS4 vehicles from roughly 2017 onward are generally dealer-only for key generation. However, we can still assist with lockouts and door lock faults.
What usually goes wrong on a Mercedes-Benz
Infrared key failures on older FBS3 cars are frequent, and the fix is usually the key rather than the vehicle.
What a Mercedes-Benz job usually involves
Anything from roughly 2017 with FBS4 is dealer-only for keys, and we say so on the phone. FBS4 vehicles from roughly 2017 onward are dealer-only for key generation, and no amount of tooling changes that.
