We offer a solution to ESL/ELV Electronic Steering Lock bypass for Mercedes W204 W207 W212 produced before 2013
The main advantage of the ESL emulator we offer is that its installation does not require the removal of the original ESL unit. 👍 You only need to remove the original ESL if it is locked and cannot be unlocked. If you manage to unlock it, simply disconnecting the connector is sufficient. Then, once you receive the programmed ESL emulator, just plug it into that connector. After inserting the key into the ignition, you will hear the familiar unlocking sound.
👉 Here are instructions that may help you unlock a faulty ESL/ELV (Electronic Steering Lock) unit:
1️⃣ Insert the key into the ignition.
2️⃣ Try tapping the steering wheel rim with your palms from various sides.
3️⃣ Next, release the steering column adjustment lever and quickly move it all the way down,
then all the way up—repeat this action several times.
You may need to repeat the procedure a few times until you hear the ESL unlocking sound.
To repeat the process, remove the key from the ignition and insert it again, then perform steps 2️⃣ and 3️⃣.
If the ESL unlocks successfully, do not remove the key from the ignition until you have disconnected the wiring harness from the original ESL. This ensures the ESL remains unlocked, allowing it to be left in place on the steering column.
You can order this service via the eBay app 👉
