Restore your Mercedes-Benz’s electrical system with our expert SAM (Signal Acquisition Module) cloning and programming service for W164 ML-Class and X164 GL-Class vehicles. We transfer all original data—including VIN, immobilizer (FBS3), software, and coding—from your faulty SAM module to a replacement unit, ensuring seamless plug-and-play operation. Customers must supply both the original and replacement SAM modules with identical part numbers. In some cases, modules may need to be opened to perform cloning, which may void any existing warranty. Once cloned and programmed, the replacement module is returned ready to start your vehicle with your existing keys.

What We Do

• Clone all vehicle-specific SAM data, including VIN, FBS3 immobilizer, software, and coding

• Program the replacement module for plug-and-play installation

• Support modules with hardware faults such as water damage or circuit issues

How It Works

1. Confirm your vehicle model and SAM module part number.

2. Purchase this service and ship both your original and replacement SAM modules to us.

3. We clone and program the replacement module.

4. Your replacement SAM is returned fully plug-and-play.

5. Install the module and start your vehicle.
