**ecu repair** · 22nd June, 2018, 01:10 PM

Hi mates,
I have a problem with 2001 mercedes A140 W168.The car was locked with remote control and the remote got broken and it can not open the car anymore but the transponder is still okay.I opened the car with the mechanical key but when i try to start the car i get"start error" on dash.
please i need to know if it is possible to program a "second hand" key to this car? if not, then how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,regards.

Thank you mate for your reply.I have read the transponder and it is okay(not defective) but maybe somebody have tried to program it before and the programming was not good.Any way i will read the immo box data and check.
Thanks again for your support.

Here is the immo file and the key info.I have tried to reprogram the transponder but it did not work(must be new)and i am not sure if this key belongs to this car or not...anyway i am wondering if anybody can write this key info into the immo file.
Thanks in advance.
