Looks like a Jeep Cherokee, can't imagine the ride is comfortable or that many people ever take them off road. Are they built especially better than any other MB? Why do these things command such insane prices?

And to pile on, I honestly believe that a lot of places want to replace all of the EIS modules whenever one part has failed. Not necessary, as the replacement can be coded, locally or remotely. However, I do know of some dealers that won’t do it for anyone. Others do it for independent shops

Exactly. If it needs new keys that tells me the keys are bad and maybe the EIS is not working, but a new key should be programmable to match the existing keys and the rest of the car.  The lock module gets told by the EIS to unlock, and for the ECU to start the engine.  So now I am wondering

You have to get out your vibrating multitool and tape it to the key. It will eventually shake the cylinder into compliance, or so I’ve heard. Whenever I get a “new to me” car I always buy new keys. If it’s something like a W124 or W123 I’ll buy a new ignition lock cylinder as well, which

A W123 can get you into a pretty pickle as well if the lock cylinder jams. Very difficult to drill out or remove in other ways if you can't turn it. Or so I'm told, no direct experience. On Thu, Sep 28, 2023, at 08:53, Michael Esh via Mercedes wrote: > Update. Repair estimate at Mercedes
