About SLK / SLC Keys

Verified key reference for the Mercedes SLK / SLC — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.

Security System & Immobilizer

Mercedes pairs its infrared SmartKey with the EIS/EZS module under FBS3 (now FBS4) — specialist equipment programs FBS3 keys on-site.

On the SLK / SLC specifically we see: FBS3. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Which key does your year have?

  • 2005–2011: Chrome SmartKey / Keyless Go — FBS3 (HU64)
  • 2012–2020: SmartKey / Keyless Go — FBS3 → FBS4 (confirm by VIN) (HU64)
