AMG-specific fob considerations

AMG models often have black-leather AMG-stitched fobs. We can supply either the AMG-spec fob or a standard Mercedes fob — they work identically. Customer's choice.

AMG-specific fob

Diagnose first.
Programme properly.

Every Mercedes AMG job starts the same way — confirm the platform, read the immobiliser, then programme. We follow the manufacturer-spec procedure every time, and you see the new key working before we leave.

  1. 01

    Confirm AMG variant & FBS status

    AMG model and year confirmed from registration. We check FBS3 vs FBS4 immediately. No wasted trips on FBS4 cars we can't help with.

  2. 02

    Read EIS

    For FBS3 AMG — OBD access to EIS. Credentials extracted for AKL.

  3. 03

    Programme & verify

    New fob programmed, AMG-specific features (where applicable) tested, all functions verified.

W204 C63 AMG — spare key for the weekend toy. DashTech sorted it on the driveway in Esher. Same procedure as a standard W204. Same software as the dealer.

W212 E63 — locked out at a track day. DashTech came out to the track car park, sorted it in 100 minutes. Saved my afternoon.

Asked about my W205 C63 — DashTech told me FBS4 dealer-only. Honest from the start. Saved me a wasted visit. Booked Mercedes. Will use DashTech for my older AMG instead.

Mercedes AMG questions, explained.

Which AMG models do you cover?
FBS3 AMG — W204 C63, W212 E63, W221 S63, W166 ML63/GLE63 and other pre-2015 AMG. W205-onwards AMG is FBS4 dealer-only — we tell you upfront.
What's the difference between FBS3 and FBS4?
FBS3 is the older Mercedes immobiliser, fully readable independently with the right tooling. FBS4 (introduced 2014-2015 depending on model) requires Mercedes dealer-server access — outside independent scope.
How do I know if my AMG is FBS3 or FBS4?
Send the registration — we check immediately. Quick yes/no answer, no obligation.
Do you supply AMG-stitched fobs?
Yes — AMG-spec fobs available, or standard Mercedes fobs (cheaper, work identically). Customer's choice.
How long does an AMG key take?
FBS3 AMG follows standard Mercedes timings. Spare: 75-90 mins. AKL: 100-150 mins. Same as non-AMG equivalents.
Will the dealer void my warranty?
No — UK Block Exemption Regulation. Independent key work doesn't affect manufacturer warranty.
