Automotive Keys 2009-2014 Mercedes Benz FBS3 / 4-Button Fobik Key Vancouver

FBS3 is the name of the immobiliser generation, not a model, and this four button fobik key is for the Mercedes-Benz cars that run it between 2009 and 2014. Our Mercedes-Benz page maps that generation to the W204 C-Class, the W211 and W212 E-Class and the W221 S-Class, with the SUVs following the saloon they share a platform with, so a C, E or S-Class from these years with the older system is the car this key serves. A fobik key does not turn a cylinder. The whole key body pushes into the electronic ignition switch, the switch reads it and you twist the body to start, and the only conventional blade is the short emergency blade concealed inside, cut on the HU64 profile for the driver's door. HU64 is an internal track that a standard machine cannot follow; we cut it in house from the key code. The electronics are the real job, because a Mercedes key is written into the car's own key table through the ignition switch rather than copied from another key. With one working key in hand, adding this one is a straightforward session. With every key gone, the ignition switch and the steering column lock become part of the work on FBS3 cars, which our page identifies as the reason those jobs take longest. In both cases the key you lost is deauthorised so it can no longer start the car, and we test start, central locking and boot release before we leave. Everything is done at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver or at the vehicle, with nothing towed. Read the listing carefully: it is the complete key with its board, and it is not a shell. A shell is an empty chrome housing for a key whose electronics are sound, and on these keys the housing is usually what fails, splitting at the seam after years in a pocket or leaking from a swollen cell; when that is the case we transfer your electronics and cut a new HU64 blade instead of programming anything. Ownership is checked against the registration before any Mercedes key is created, so bring that and your driver's licence, plus any working key. Call 604-734-7233 with the chassis code and tell us whether a key still exists.
