Electronic Steering Lock (ESL) Emulator for Mercedes-Benz: A Solution for W204, W207 & W212 Models
A common issue in Mercedes-Benz vehicles from 2007 to 2014, including the W204, W207, and W212 models, is the failure of the electronic steering lock (ESL). Resolving this problem at a dealership can be costly and time-consuming, as it involves ordering and programming a new steering lock unit. This emulator provides a more convenient and cost-effective alternative.
