Service
ELV / Steering Lock.
Mercedes-Benz ELV replaced with a solid-state module and programmed to your car.
The problem
On many Mercedes-Benz models of the 2000s and early 2010s, the electronic steering lock (ELV) can fail. The key goes in, the steering stays locked, and the car won’t start. Commonly affected: W204 C-Class, W207 and W212 E-Class, X204 GLK and W906 Sprinter.
Our approach
We remove the mechanical ELV and replace it with a solid-state electronic module, a circuit board with no mechanical parts to wear out. It’s programmed to your car so it works with your ignition switch and keys. And we warranty our work.
