‘Tis time to continue fettling the SL500. I have come to the suspicion that the occasional bizarre electrical gremlins I have been experiencing are tied up with the (intermittent) fault with the immobiliser.
The car needs a visit to WG M-B anyway, so I’ll get the codes read then, but if the immobiliser does need replacement, what are my options?
I presume the key fob is matched with the immobiliser, so just any old immobiliser unit will not work. Am I right?
Can MB supply a new unit, ready-coded to the car, so that my existing keys work? Or will I need an immobiliser and new keys as well?
I dare not ask how much it will cost….
Or (worst case) is the part NLA?
