Mercedes W163 ML models 1998 - 2005 replacement remote flip key

In late 2017 Mercedes stopped making the replacement flip keys for these older model Mercedes ML vehicles on the W163 chassis.

This high quality OEM style flip key can be programmed to your vehicle as a spare or replacement flip key with all the functionality of the original key.

PLEASE NOTE EVEN THOUGH THE KEY IN THE PHOTO HAS THE RED PANIC BUTTON THE KEY CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO MODELS WHERE THE ORIGINAL KEY DID NOT HAVE THIS BUTTON.

To identify if your vehicle is on the W163 chassis - look at the VIN for the vehicle and it should start as follow: 

W**163 where the only characters that matter is the W and the 163 - the * can be any letter

This key is compatible with Mercedes W163 models as follows:

The information contained in the table above is intended to be used as a guide only. If the specifics of your vehicle does not match and you are using a flip key like this for your vehcile please send us the VIN - make - Model & Year of the vehicle adn we will be happy to assist you further.

This flip key uses a PCF 7935 type transponder chip and the remote transmits on 315 MHz. 

This flip key is unlike most other remote flip keys in that it has an infra red lense at the end of the key that goes into the ignition. Programming a remote flip key like this can only be done with a very small number of specialist programmers. We carry out this work at our workshop in East Victoria Park in WA. Please call to make an appointment in advance.

We will need the vehcile for approx 1 hour as long as you have a working key.

If you live in another part of Australia we will not be able to assist you sadly as we need to conect our programer to the vehicle to program the key and remote.
