Is there a mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) shop in Seattle I should use instead?
Most Seattle 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 northwest — about 3 days each way.
Does Washington vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Washington discontinued its emissions testing program in 2020 and has no statewide periodic safety inspection. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Washington 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.
