Is there a mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) shop in Hartford I should use instead?
Most Hartford shops don't keep the bench equipment for mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Connecticut vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Connecticut requires a biennial OBD-II emissions inspection for most vehicles statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Connecticut and federal requirements.
My ML cranks but will not start and the key is fine. Is this the right service?
Probably not — a known-good key with a no-start points at the AAM itself failing, which is our $299 AAM/DAS repair service. Text us the symptoms and VIN and we will point you at the right one before you order.
Does this cover my 2006 SLK or 2003 E-Class?
No — those are EIS/FBS3-era cars with the chrome SmartKey fob, which is a different architecture we also service: see the Mercedes EIS key programming and EIS cloning services. This page is for the earlier AAM/DAS generation.
