The Mercedes-Benz W203 C-Class (2000-2007) uses the COMAND NTG1 and NTG2 head unit systems. When the battery is disconnected or replaced, the anti-theft protection system activates and requires a PIN code to unlock. Our service provides instant code retrieval from the official Mercedes database.

About W203 C-Class Anti-Theft System

The Mercedes-Benz W203 C-Class (2000-2007) is equipped with an advanced anti-theft protection system integrated into the COMAND head unit. When the battery is disconnected, the head unit is replaced, or the vehicle undergoes certain electrical work, this security feature activates and displays the message "Anti-Theft Protection Active." This is a factory-designed security measure that prevents unauthorized use of the head unit — however, it can be frustrating for legitimate owners who simply need to restore their system after routine maintenance.

Our service provides the exact anti-theft PIN code, command code, HU PIN code, or MAP activation code that your W203 C-Class requires. We use the official Mercedes-Benz database to calculate your unique code based on your serial number or VIN. The process is completely safe, dealer-approved, and does not void your warranty. With support for NTG1, NTG2 systems and all C-Class variants produced between 2000-2007, we guarantee compatibility with your specific vehicle configuration.

Great & fast service. Got my Mercedes W212 anti-theft code quickly after battery replacement, and it worked perfectly! COMAND system is back to normal. Highly recommended.

My Mercedes C-Class showed Anti-Theft Protection Active for 2 months after head unit swap. Got the code super fast from AntiTheftCode — wish I knew about them earlier! Saved me a trip to the dealer.

Excellent anti-theft code service! My Mercedes E-Class COMAND was locked after disconnecting the battery. Received my code in 10 minutes and system is back up and running. 5-star experience!

Fully recommended 5/5. Very nice support team, they helped me get the anti-theft code for my Mercedes GLC in less than half an hour. Much cheaper than the dealer wanted (€120!).

Very impressed! After struggling with my Mercedes S-Class anti-theft protection for weeks, got the code in less than an hour. Professional service and only €25 — dealer quoted me €150!

Brilliant! My Mercedes W204 COMAND was locked after a battery change. They sent me the anti-theft code almost immediately. €25 instead of €100+ elsewhere. Will recommend to everyone!
