The modification shown in this video was done on a w220 S-class mercedes.
In this video I show you how to repair your Mercedes key fob with a sheet of paper (card stock [less folds], bond stock, or regular printer paper will work)
Mercedes dealership quoted me $500 for a new copied key and also said that more than likely I would have to also change the ESV/ELV (key tumbler/ignition key lock) for an additional $800. Thats a total of $1,300.
Instead, using this method it may only cost you $0.01.
Yes that’s right only 1 cent.
And for those wondering, the check engine light seen at the end of the video was pertaining to a separate “bank 1, sense 1” issue. 🙂 😁 🤫
I hope this helps you all with this issue.

Construction paper
Thank you for the video on how to take apart and assemble. My wife washed my fob in the washing machine and it quit working. I followed this to take it apart at used 91% isopropyl alcohol with cotton swabs to clean it the chip and contact points. Was very dirty and watery. Luckily the fob came back to life and I can start my car again! The unlock and lock buttons do not work however
33 mile range with half a tank of fuel ?
bro u just saved my fucking life i was at this water park in PA ,key got wet and it won’t work got it to dry and put me battery in and it unlock the car but doesn’t start or turn i went back to NY to get the other key but didn’t work so i call a tow truck they wanted 1000 to tow it to nyc i tried this and boom it worked i f** love u man
My car just started doing it and have them run a diagnostic to it and they said my gateway module was bad and my ignition switch
This works! Just tried it! Car wouldn’t start after trying this hack it started right up
OMG! It worked!!! I spent $800 for new starter which worked for a week and quit on me again. Bought a $12 fob on Amazon and the damn car started right up like nothing was wrong. Dealership quoted me $1,500 for the same job I just did. Thank you so much!!!
Did this after my key fob went underwater! Cleaned everything with isopropyl alcohol. Did not need the paper wedge but the video helped me get it cleaned out. Working again! Thank you sir!!!
