Is there a mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) shop in Billings I should use instead?

Does Montana vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Montana has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Montana and federal requirements.
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.
Which module do I send?
On the W163 ML-Class it is the AAM — the All Activity Module. On the classic passenger cars (R170 SLK, R129 SL, W140 S, W461 G) it is the DAS/SKREEM immobilizer unit. Text your VIN first and we tell you exactly which box your car uses and where it is mounted, with pull instructions, before you take anything apart.
