The W213 E-Class (2016–2023) is one of the most common Mercedes chassis needing an anti-theft PIN after battery replacement or COMAND work. Depending on model year and options it runs COMAND NTG5, NTG5.1 or NTG5.5. When the head unit loses power it may demand a security code before radio, Bluetooth and navigation return. We look up your W213 PIN from the official Mercedes database using the COMAND serial number and email it in 15–30 minutes. Sedan (W213), Estate (S213), Coupe and Cabriolet variants from E200 through E63 AMG are supported, including diesel and hybrid powertrains.

About W213 E-Class Anti-Theft System

The Mercedes-Benz W213 E-Class (2016-2023) 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 W213 E-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 NTG5, NTG5.1, NTG5.5 systems and all E-Class variants produced between 2016-2023, 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!

Sara Smith Mercedes COMAND

Sara Smith

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!).

James Wilson Mercedes COMAND

James Wilson

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Which W213 years and NTG versions are covered?
2016–2023 W213/S213 with NTG5, NTG5.1 and NTG5.5. Facelift and pre-facelift units are both supported.
Do you support AMG and Estate?
Yes — E43/E53/E63 AMG and S213 Estate use the same PIN process as standard sedans.
W213 vs W212 — which page?
W212 (2009–2016) is an older generation (NTG4.5–NTG5). Use the W212 model page for that chassis.
Can I order MAP PIN for Europe maps?
Yes. If navigation asks for an activation code after a map update, order the MAP PIN service for your COMAND unit.
Is dealer coding required after the PIN?
Usually no. Entering the correct anti-theft PIN restores the unit without STAR coding for a standard lockout.
