The Mercedes-Benz (MB) steering lock issue is one of the most common problems in the MB starting system. Typically, an MB dealer would need to order a new steering lock and program it, which can be both costly and time-consuming.
With the MB Steering Lock Emulator (ELV Emulator), you can program and reprogram it for multiple vehicles as needed, making your job faster and more efficient.
Bypassing the steering lock on MB models such as the W176, W246, and W447 has never been this easy.
Using the MB Emulator is not only safer but also more durable than attempting to repair the original steering lock. Plus, you’ll avoid recurring issues with the ESL system.
Key Features of the MB Steering Lock Emulator
- Ease of Use: Simple and straightforward to operate.
- Wide Compatibility: Supports most types of MB key programming devices.
- Reprogrammable: Can be programmed multiple times for different vehicles.
- Status Indicators: Built-in lights help you easily understand the status of ELV programming.
