The Xhorse XDMB11EN ESL/ELV Emulator is designed to replace the original steering lock (ESL/ELV) used in Mercedes-Benz W204, W207, and W212 vehicles. These models commonly suffer from steering lock failures caused either by a damaged ESL motor or a locked NEC chip inside the ESL unit. When this happens, the vehicle will not start even if the key and ignition system are fully functional.

This emulator serves as a direct replacement for the OEM steering lock. After removing the damaged ESL, the emulator is installed and programmed using the vehicle’s immobilizer (EIS) data. The unit is fully compatible with VVDI MB BGA Tool, VVDI Key Tool Plus, and many other Mercedes programming devices – not only Xhorse tools.

Built to OEM standards, the XDMB11EN provides stable performance, supports original-style lock sound emulation, and integrates cleanly without affecting vehicle appearance or safety.

⚙️ Technical Notes

Most W204 / W207 / W212 ESL units fail due to:

1. Damaged ESL motor → requires motor replacement or emulator

2. Locked NEC chip → theoretically unlockable, but in practice requires replacing the ESL

This emulator bypasses both failure scenarios and restores full steering lock communication with the EIS module.

• W204 (C-Class)
• W207 (E-Class Coupe/Convertible)
