Key programming and SCN coding gets your Sprinter a working spare, a replacement after a lost key, or a corrected module after a repair. This calls for factory Xentry and live SCN access that most Inland Empire shops simply do not have. At our Yorba Linda bench we program keys to your VIN and code control units so everything talks to the immobilizer the way it should.


## What this includes
- Extra or spare key cutting and programming to your VIN
- All-keys-lost programming when no working key is left
- SCN coding of control units after a module is replaced
- Immobilizer and drive authorization system diagnosis
- EIS and EZS ignition switch fault diagnosis and coding
- Key fob remote, battery, and reception troubleshooting

## Who it is for
- You want a spare cut before the only key you own goes missing
- The only key was lost or stolen and the van will not start
- A module was swapped in and now needs coding to run
- The key turns but the van refuses to recognize it

## Pricing
Programming runs on the 285 dollar factory bench at a one hour minimum, credited back against the authorized repair. The wider range is a ballpark, confirmed in writing after inspection.

## FAQ
### Why can most shops not program a Sprinter key?
Mercedes key and immobilizer work needs factory Xentry with live online SCN access and security clearance. Most independent shops around Riverside do not have it, so they route the van to a dealer. We handle it in-shop.

### Can you make a key if every one of mine is gone?
Yes. All-keys-lost programming is possible with factory tooling. We confirm ownership first, then program a fresh key to your VIN and immobilizer so the Sprinter starts and drives.

### Do I need coding after a control unit is replaced?
Usually, yes. Units like the EIS, SAM, or engine controller have to be SCN coded to your VIN so they match how the van is built and communicate across the CAN network.
