Is there a mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) shop in Virginia Beach I should use instead?
Most Virginia Beach 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 Virginia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Virginia requires an annual safety inspection statewide, with emissions testing in the Northern Virginia metro counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Virginia 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.
