“We've used North West Car Coding on several VAG, Mercedes, Bentley and Porsche vehicles and can't recommend him enough. He's handled everything we've sent his way, including FBS4 immobiliser work and component protection removal, which a lot of people won't touch or can't get right. Every job was done properly, he explained what was involved, and he got the cars back to us sorted. If you need someone who really knows premium coding and actually delivers, he's the one to call. We'll keep using him.”

“Excellent service and after sales experience. I made initial contact by WhatsApp as I'd messaged so many independents to get a spare key programmed to my E Class only to be told it was dealer only time and time again. Northwest Car Coding Ltd was able to source and program in a genuine spare key and the lead time was much quicker than my local dealer was quoting. I would much rather use a local independent company where I can than pay a national dealer. I made 2 visits to them in Manchester and the key worked to open and start the car. My car did skip a step at the initialisation stage for the new key which put it into limp mode when using the new key but not the original so after messaging Northwest Car Coding he was very helpful and talked me through how to resolve the issue in 10 minutes. If I ever buy another Mercedes with only 1 key I know where I will be going for a spare without a doubt. Definitely support a local independent business over a national dealer.”

Frequently Asked Questions

SCN coding is online network configuration for drive and control modules using genuine Mercedes Xentry systems — the same secure online operations used by main dealers.

Yes. We handle ECU, SAM and ISM restoration and full electronic control module flashing with Star Diagnosis hardware.

Yes. For dedicated Mercedes FBS4 key programming and security repair from 2012 onwards, see our Mercedes Key Programming & Security page. General key registration and blocking is also available through Mercedes online systems.

Most coding changes settings that are already built into your car's software, and we keep a full backup of your original settings so changes can be reversed. Warranty terms differ by manufacturer, so ask us about your Mercedes before you book.

Larger flashes and module work are done at our North West workshop, where stable high-intensity battery stabilisers protect the car’s computers during the update. Suitable coding jobs can also be completed by remote session — we confirm which route fits when you enquire.

Many Mercedes control units are authorised to the car through Mercedes’ online servers. After a replacement, the new unit must be coded and registered with SCN online coding via Xentry before it works correctly — a generic scanner cannot do this.
