Sprinter Key Replacement
Made Easy – How It Works

Losing your Sprinter van key or needing a spare can be stressful, but SprinterKeys.com has a lost Sprinter key solutionthat’s fast and hassle-free. Our process is designed for both individual Sprinter owners and RV dealers, so you don’t need any special technical knowledge or tools to get a new key. Below we break down the steps of our Sprinter key replacement mail-in service – from removing a module to receiving and using your newly programmed key – all in a clear, step-by-step format.

Step 1: Remove Your Sprinter’s Ignition Module (EZS or SKREEM)

Removing the Sprinter’s ignition module is simple and requires only basic tools. In this first step, you’ll take a small electronic module out of your van – this module stores the info needed for key programming.
 

2007–2018 Sprinter (NCV3) models, this module is the EZS (Electronic Ignition Switch) located in the dash.

It takes around 10 minutes to remove the EZS, and we provide video guides to walk you through it​.

2002–2006 Sprinter (T1N) models, the module is often called the SKREEM or TEMIC (found behind the instrument cluster) and comes out in about 5 minutes​.

Don’t worry – no special tools are required; just a T-15 and flat head screwdriver will do the job. If you still have one working key, you’ll send it along with the module. If all keys are lost, we’ll ask you to also remove one of the door lock cylinders so we can cut the new key to fit your doors​. (This ensures the new key will turn the ignition and unlock your doors.) Once the module is out, you’re ready for the next step.

Step 2: Ship the Module to SprinterKeys for Programming

Securely package the module (and any additional parts) and ship them to our facility. After removal, place the ignition module (EZS/SKREEM) – and your existing key or door lock cylinder, if applicable – in a FedEx or UPS padded envelope. Then, ship it to SprinterKeys.com and send us the tracking number. (Many customers use FedEx for most efficient delivery.) Our mail-in Sprinter key programming service means no towing needed – you skip the dealership altogether​We’ll confirm as soon as we receive your package. 

We handle your module with care and keep you updated throughout the process. Our convenient mail-in service simplifies everything, providing a prompt, efficient, and secure solution right to your doorstep​

We use specialized equipment to program a new key that matches your Sprinter’s immobilizer data. Once your module arrives, we get to work. We use advanced programming tools to read the data from your Sprinter’s module and create a new key fob that is uniquely matched to your van.

This includes programming the transponder chip and remote so that your Sprinter’s immobilizer will recognize the new key. We also cut the key blade to match your door locks (using the lock cylinder you sent, if no original key was available). Each Sprinter key replacement is programmed with precision, ensuring it will start the engine and

operate the electric locks seamlessly​.

Before returning your package, we bench test the new key with your module to guarantee everything functions just like an original key. In short, we handle all the technical heavy lifting – Sprinter key programming, transponder coding, and key cutting – so you don’t have to.

Step 4: Reinstall the Module and Enjoy Your New Key

When your package returns, simply plug the module back in and you’re ready to go with your new key.

We quickly ship back your ignition module along with the newly programmed key fob (and your old key or lock, if you provided one). When you receive the package, just reinstall the module in your Sprinter’s dashboard – it will go in the same way it came out, usually in minutes.

 

No additional programming is required on your end. The new key has already been coded to your van’s immobilizer, so once everything is plugged back in, the key is ready to start the engine and unlock the doors immediately​.

 

Try the remote buttons and ignition to confirm: you’ll find that the fob works for all functions, just like a factory key. With your van running and a fresh key in hand, you’re all set! This mail-in process saves you the time and cost of visiting a dealer, getting you back on the road faster.
