Guys, urgent help needed. My W202 (96 C180) remote fob had a broken red IR glass in the tip of the fob, worked fine but looked a bit ... broken. So I ordered a new blank casing and yesterday changed over the blade and the internal pcb etc. When i put the new casing back to gether it wouldn't...

Just wondering, who has added an aftermarket immobiliser and what brand/model did you use? I'm thinking about getting one as my area of work and which i live in are getting worse for car crimes.. My standard alarm is sensitive but i fear it's not 100%. I've looked into toad, as my dad has it...

I'm having all sorts of electrical nightmares with two Vitos I took in as part exchange and today's problem is this electrical fault. is it possible to bypass the immobiliser, someone mentioned virginilising (I think he made the word up) if the box can be reset using Star.

Hello, I am in the process of fitting a C36 AMG engine to my R107, see http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/90190-c36-amg-engine-into-r107-sl-project.html for project details. My question is can the car's ECU be modified so that I don't need to use the immobiliser to start the car ? I...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this great forum! I've been enjoying the rather strange experience of driving a rhd w124 for a few months now and the forum has been great help already. Thanks guys! :thumb: I haven't found the answer to the problem I've been having for the last few days though...

Hi, I am new the to this forum but have found a lot of the posts really helpful - thanks. I am in the process of purchasing a 2007 GL 320. Can anyone advise me on the specifications of the standard fit alarm / immobiliser on this model (needed by my insurer)? Many thanks.

Ive got a problem which apparently is a faulty wiring loom. Before I had the problems which were diagnosed as a faulty loom I had my factory immobiliser disabled... Ar the two electric items related? I know only the guy that did the work will know, just wondered if anyone had an opinion...

So I decided that the crumbling Cobra immobiliser key I had for my SL was best supplemented by a new one. It arrived in the post today with two sets of instructions dependent upon which version I had. Sods law, mine seems to be one where dip switches need setting to be able to programme the new...

Guys, Does anyone have any experience of disabling the original immobiliser on a '95 C124? Mine is giving me jip and i just want it out.. AND, has anyone put in something as an aftermarket replacement? Thanks guys..

I was given a pretty looking small key with a white top when I bought my ML, which having had one similar before on previous BMs Ive owned I assume to be the alarm immobiliser override key for when the car goes in for service, etc. Only one problem. Not sure where to find the alarm on my ML...

Can anyone tell me if you can disable the alarm and immobiliser system when over wintering a '96 SL. without disconnecting the battery.:dk: At the moment it is tucked up nicely but with only the interior sensors disabled (I think). The information in the MB security system manual doesn't seem...

Hi folks my insurance company wants to know which Mercedes Immobiliser I have. You'd think it being factory standard they should know! Can anyone advise on the model name/number? I believe it is the MBSS3.1 according to docs on Thatcham web site. Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks...

So I'd like to replace the alarm that was in the car when I bought it and add some kind of mechanical immobiliser. Having read through various alarm posts/recommendations on this forum it seems like Clifford have got the best rep, but I'm open to any make. Can anyone recommend a reasonably...

Hi everyone, hope you're all well.... OK I have a Mercedes C Class (P Reg) Saloon 1.8. The other week I got to the car and the key fob would not unlock etc. I disconnected the wires (there are three, two red and a black), the alarm disabled but the engine was still immobiliser. I left it...

Problem occurred twice whilst driving (lost all power) but car re-started immediately, unfortunately now it's gone terminal! No warning lights on dash - don't know if any error messages have been generated (don't have a reader). Suspect Crankshaft Sensor or Immobiliser is faulty. Whilst cranking...

Hi Yesterday I went out in the car, no problems, parked up went to shop came back and drove home. Went back to the car 10 min later and car does not turn over on the key. Doors are locking and unlocking on the key fob as usual. Black electronic key, replaced the batteries as a precaution, I...

Does anyone have the details of what comes as standard with a C43? I'd like to know what type of immobiliser is provided, and if it is Thatcham Category 2?

I have a dodgy immobiliser on my '96 S280 - which occasionally makes the car difficult to start. My mechanic has advised me that if it ever lets me down completely, just use the key to turn the immobiliser off and things should be fine. Trouble is, I've forgotten where he said the key lock was...

I own a late E220 Cabriolet (W124) which has the keyless door entry and alarm system. Recently my immobiliser "baled-out" causing a certain amount of havoc to other electrics - thankfully not too expensive ! My mechanic (BSG in Ladbroke Grove) disconnected it. I'd like to fit another immobiliser...
