Ok not sure if anyone has tried anything like this before. However I may.

V AK500 Key Programmer - Shenzhen Sinoy Electron Technology Co.,Ltd

I am a sucker for tools and if I only use it once it would still be cool to have. Plus to think of the people on here I could help. Or for that matter the local people I could help.

No price?
I think that if anyone could break MB security codes he would make huge money other way and would not sell the small machines.
Buy it- I'll be happy to listen if it works.

I thought inserting the key in the ignition would "program" or "re-program" it.

I sent them an email through my company to look more "professional". I work for a large electronics company so inovation is our game. We have a programmer her but nothing for rf just proms and such. I might see if they make an RF adapter for ours.

While it would be great to have the ability to copy keys, if they actually sell this machine to a non-Mercedes authorized entity I am going to feel much less safe about my Benz.

Well.... they've been selling Brooklyn Bridge as well. Still would not hesitate to drive on it.

Mercedes need to stop brutalizing people over the key fobs .. I hope the machine works.. I cant see why you cant get a machine to learn and repeat all RF and IR signals your key sends for backup purposes. whats the big deal.

Ive played with some custom IR software in the past you can resend sets of received/recorded signals as long as the transmitting IR diode is compatible with the receiver .. not sure about RF but again if u can packet dump 802.11abcg and reproduce data conversations .. the same must be possible with merc keys or any RF key.
This is 2010.. time based encryption is what benz most probably is used on the latest products etc

Well do tonot know the laws on the listing a company name I didn't list the one I work for. That being said I will say that not everyone I am sure can get the programmers. I used my company logo when I applied for info on them. So rest assure I am sure your MB is still safe.

The last reply from OP was 10 months ago. I have bad feelings
