Thorough explanation of the process is what we've been needing. Thank you for the vid!...... subscriber
My pleasure. Much more to come.. thanks for your support 🙏🏼
Thanks for your time.
I've done them before.
My pleasure.. 👍🏻
Can you do the same procedure for a Keyless Go and Keyless Entry key?
It’s a different key. It may work but I don’t have great experience with that
Great job thank you
My pleasure. Stay tuned for more..
Nice and informative video, lots of tips. Thanks.
So with a working key, then we do not never need G-box as I understand it. Or is G-box for more than AKL situations?
Thanks for your support.
GBox is only for AKL. This method will be for most of them adding a key from around 2004 to 2014 depends on the model.
@@legacylocksmith7874 Thanks, you just saved me $€£
@@legacylocksmith7874 Tbanks for that verification. You just save us a big bunch of $€£. That day needed, that sorrow...
Small town, fewer people, never had an AKL-situation (here they probably call car tossers).
You also need to get into the car, else everythein else is worthless 🙂
Can not justify Lishis (you need a bunch, and also know how to use them on different locks).
Just bought one to train on (but a Schlage is not like any car-lock)
But I have a nice kit of AccessTools USA, but never used them live (just practised with them).
Hi, good video as always. Is a B200 2011 the same process?
Thanks 🙏🏼. Yeah Should be
@@legacylocksmith7874 thanks brother
From your experience, how reliable are those blank keys in the long run? I know the moment you program it, it starts, unlocks, locks fine. But a few months later, any customer comeback for issues?
I am sure they may not use NEC or Siemens chips. Thats why i ask.
I have used to have a lot of problems back in the days, so I have switched to the fobs with double battery they seems to work pretty well I don’t have callbacks anymore.
Hi bro does it also support the new cars like 2020
No. FBS3 only
@@legacylocksmith7874 ok bro, i think the bi benefits of this tool no needs for tokens to program key as some other competitors tools like CGDI and vvdi, do you know something about them, but maybe they cover more on Benz
All of these you mentioned support the same
Who do you recommend to get the key fobs from? Thanks
Honestly, it’s a hit or miss some of them are good, but then turns bad so you always need to change suppliers.
e350 2015 coudtomer texted me to add key , is it the same process ??
NO. Unfortunately E class from 2014 and up it’s FBS4 and Autel do not support that. Sorry
@@legacylocksmith7874 thanks man just saved me a drive
Would this process be the same on an C300 2008 adding a key?
Yes. It’s would be about the same.
Will this work on 2018 sprinter? I have Autel im508 with xp400 with gbox 2 I wanna add key.
If sprinter is FBS4 then no. I’m not sure
How do you know which IR key you need for a 2012 Mercedes C250. Its a BE key with FCC ID IYZDC07. They have the same key with different IDs example IYZ3312. Would this key work?
In the USA there is only one model i believe it’s “IYZ-3312 / 315 MHz”
Thanks for sharing, I have never done any European car so far but I would like to jump on them but on the beginning I would like to start just with OBD , so how I can figure out if the car can be done through OBD or needs EPROOM ? Thanks in advance
In the Europeans, you need to have more experience to know which one is which I would highly recommend at least to start from what you see that can be done and gain some experience to do more in the future. As more as you do, you get better, but be very careful to do specifically the models that you see that can be done, because sometimes a slight different can put you in a big trouble. But definitely adding the key to a Mercedes in this way has almost no danger at all.
@@legacylocksmith7874 but how I can know a given car that can be done through OBD or not ? Is there on app or website to check that?
You just need to look up in the Internet and find there is no one place that say all. This is why the European cars are more complex to do
@@legacylocksmith7874 do you provide training?
Unfortunately I don’t offer one on one training at the moment but I will try to upload as much as I can to the channel to help you guys as much as possible.

Stop whispering
I’m trying my best for you guys. It’s not always so ideal to video everything you’re doing.
It is not a studio. Made in open air.
Me, myself, think this as about some of the best videos.
It is long enough to show all, and not with a lot of void and irellevant stuff spending 3 times the time to watch and get same info.
And it is short enough to show it all and not cut corners. 7 minutes is real fast, with all you need IMHO.
There is also a lot prep before made. But if you have the programmer, you know these parts.
Thanks 🙏 for your support.
