🔧 PRO TIP
The 2001 CLK (W208 chassis) runs the older FBS3 immobilizer through the EIS/EZS module, part number 210 545 06 08 on most variants. If your key turns but the engine cranks and dies, the infrared transponder in the key head is failing to handshake with the EIS, not the starter. Before you panic, check that the red LED on the dash blinks once when you insert the key. No blink usually means the EIS itself is going bad, which is a known W208 problem, not a key problem.

2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from someone over in the Thompson Boulevard district in Ventura. His 2001 CLK320 just stopped recognizing the key. He would put it in, turn it, and the engine would crank for half a second and cut out. Classic immobilizer rejection.

He had already looked it up online and was convinced the EIS module was dead. Ordered a used one off eBay and everything. I told him to hold off on swapping any modules until I got there.

Showed up, plugged into the OBD port under the dash, and pulled communication with the EIS. Module was responding fine. The issue was the infrared transponder in his original key head had gone weak. The signal was not reaching the EIS reader consistently. Happens on these W208 keys after twenty-plus years.

Cut a new HU64 blade to the factory bitting, paired a fresh transponder through the EIS using the SKC code from his original key data, and programmed all four remote buttons. Lock, unlock, trunk, panic. Tested the key five starts in a row, cold. Every time it caught immediately.

He still had that eBay EIS module sitting in the shipping box on the passenger seat. I told him to return it. The car just needed a working key, not a new brain.

Whole thing took about 35 minutes in his driveway. A fraction of what the dealer quoted him, and he did not have to leave his car anywhere for a week.

Mercedes-Benz CLK Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Do I have to go to the Mercedes-Benz dealer for a replacement key on my 2001 CLK?
No. The 2001 CLK runs the FBS3 immobilizer platform, which a qualified locksmith can handle independently. I pull the SKC (secret key code) from the EIS module through the OBD port, cut a new HU64 blade to factory spec, and program the infrared transponder on site. The dealer route means ordering a key pre-coded from Germany by VIN, which owners on MBWorld and BenzWorld forums report taking anywhere from one to four weeks. Some dealers will not even work on a W208 anymore and refer you out. I do it in one visit at your location in Ventura.
