2002 Mercedes-Benz SL Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy in the Miramar Beach neighborhood in Montecito. His 2002 SL500 had one working key left, and the buttons on it were getting mushy. He had already lost one key somewhere between the house and the golf course and was not interested in finding out what happens when the last one dies.
He told me the dealer wanted to order a new key pre-cut from Germany by VIN, and the wait was somewhere north of two weeks. That was the part that got him. Not the cost, the time. He drives the SL almost every day.
I showed up with the blank, cut the HU64 blade on site, then connected to the EIS module through the OBD port to register the new transponder. The R230 uses the older FBS3 system, so the whole process is self-contained, no online connection to Mercedes servers, no waiting on a PIN letter. Programmed the four-button remote, tested Keyless-Go on both doors and the trunk, and confirmed the infrared link was solid.
He stood there turning both keys over in his hands, comparing them. Then he just put the old one in a drawer and pocketed the new one. Said he felt better already having a backup that actually worked.
The whole thing took about 35 minutes in his driveway. No tow, no loaner car, no two-week window.

Customers who skipped the dealer markup
“Tim was GREAT. I honestly swear he must have had my keys made before he even showed up. The entire process was insanely fast, from the initial phone call to having the keys in my hand. No one will beat the pricing, efficiency, or outstanding service.”
“This is the only locksmith anyone should ever call. I am still shocked at how fast he arrived and the price was hundreds less than other quotes I received. Honest, professional, and extremely efficient.”
“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”
