Why California customers mail in sprinter remote key & all-keys-lost

California has roughly 31 million registered vehicles, and European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) make up much of what Los Angeles-area shops and owners mail us. European platforms cluster in Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, and most local Los Angeles shops sub bench jobs like sprinter remote key & all-keys-lost to a specialist instead of tooling up for one car. Cross-country west — about 2-3 days each way.

Is there a sprinter remote key & all-keys-lost shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?
Most Los Angeles shops don't keep the bench equipment for sprinter remote key & all-keys-lost — 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 west — about 2-3 days each way.
Does California vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
California requires a biennial Smog Check emissions inspection in most counties through the BAR program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all California and federal requirements.
Does this cover Dodge and Freightliner Sprinters?
Yes. The T1N-era vans were sold under Mercedes-Benz, Dodge and Freightliner badges and are the same vehicle underneath. Later W906 vans carry Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner badging. Everything up to 2018 is covered; 2019+ VS30 vans are a different system — send your VIN and we will confirm before you order.
My van cranks but dies after two seconds. Is that a key problem?
That pattern is usually the immobilizer refusing to authorize the engine, which this service addresses. On T1N vans it can also be the ECM start-counter fault, which is a different repair — send your VIN and symptoms and we will tell you which one you have before you order.
