11/26/2011 HouseCallAutoThis sounds serious. You will not get through this without experienced MB help. Get this car to a MB shop. Not just any shop.

How do i program a new remote key to an ML430gamstarinc74 - 1999 Mercedes Benz ML430 - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 11/22/2011i ordered a new remote key to my ml430, wondering if i can program it myself, or do i have to take it to the dealer-
11/22/2011 Spoon Sportsstick key in ign.
pull it out
get out of car
shut door
first make sure your batteries in remote are good
1.hold down lock button
2.while lock button held down, hit unlock button 5 times
3.release a buttons and hit any button
1-3 steps need to be done within 5 seconds
However the DAS function can only be programmed by the dealer.
If you purchased the key from EBAY all I can say is good luck. The dealer will do nothing for you. If you purchased from a Mercedes dealer they should have programmed all the functions for you. The Dealer needs both a new factory supplied key and the vehicle to marry key and the AAM's/DAS security codes together.

11/18/2011 JimmTry the many Mercedes-related on-line forums for this type of swap. Given enough money - you can swap any drivetrain or suspension into most any vehicle. Generally, not sure what you may end up with would be; driveable, practical, legal or safe - but I'm sure it could be done.
That said, there are some practical engine and drivetrain swaps that are proven and can be accomplished without a full remodel or re-engineering of the base vehicle.
