What a valet key does
Will This Fix My Problem?
Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.
Fixes:
- ✓All keys lost and the van cannot earn until it starts
- ✓Fleet spare that lives in the office drawer
- ✓Bought a used Sprinter that came with no keys
- ✓Need the cheapest working key, not remote features
- ✓Replaced the EIS and need a key paired to it
Won't fix:
- ✗Want remote lock/unlock buttons? That is the $375 Sprinter remote key service — same parts shipped
- ✗Mechanical ignition lock or steering-lock failure
- ✗T1N "START ERROR" ECM counter faults — see our Sprinter Start Error service
- ✗2019+ VS30 Sprinter — send your VIN and we will confirm before you order
Fleets buy these three at a time
A cargo van's key gets treated like a tool: dropped, copied, handed between drivers, lost. At $250 the valet key is cheap enough to keep spares ahead of the failure instead of after it — one in the van file, one in the office, one on the driver. Same immobilizer pairing as the expensive key; the only thing missing is the remote buttons most fleet drivers never use.
Shipping Instructions
These details are also emailed to you the moment your payment clears.
Ship the EIS (the immobilizer module — WSP/SKREEM on the earliest vans; text your VIN FIRST and we confirm exactly which box to pull) AND the driver's door lock — the lock is decoded on the bench to cut your new blade. Include any old keys. Ship to PO Box 120241, Arlington TX 76012 (USPS) or 1009 Oakwood Ln # 120241, Arlington TX 76012 (UPS/FedEx). Return shipping is selected and paid at checkout — Standard $24.95, UPS 2-Day $54.95, or UPS overnight $94.95.
What to include in your box
- The EIS / immobilizer module for your generation (we confirm by VIN before you ship)
- The driver's door lock (we decode it to cut the new blade)
- Any existing keys, even ones that no longer work
- VIN + year, and a printed order confirmation
- Your name, return address, and phone number
