Your anti-theft code will be sent to this email address

The second-generation Mercedes GLC (X254, 2022–present) uses MBUX NTG6 across SUV and Coupe lines. Battery service, trailer wiring, or a replacement head unit commonly triggers anti-theft lockout. We retrieve the correct PIN (and optional MAP activation) from the official Mercedes database and email it within 15–30 minutes. Coverage includes GLC200, GLC220d, GLC300, plug-in hybrids, and GLC43/GLC63 AMG in both body styles. If you own the previous X253 GLC with COMAND, use that model page instead — the systems differ.

About X254 GLC-Class Anti-Theft System

The Mercedes-Benz X254 GLC-Class (2022-present) 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 X254 GLC-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 NTG6 systems and all GLC-Class variants produced between 2022-present, 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!).

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!

Sophie Klein Mercedes COMAND

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

Does this cover GLC Coupe as well as SUV?
Yes. X254 SUV and C254 Coupe share MBUX NTG6 anti-theft logic. Use this page for both.
X254 vs X253 — which page should I use?
X254 (2022+) is MBUX. X253 (2015–2022) is primarily COMAND NTG5. Choose the page that matches your chassis generation.
Can I get a MAP activation for Europe or other regions?
Yes. MAP PIN unlocks navigation licensing for the installed map region when ordered as a MAP service.
How fast is delivery?
Most X254 codes arrive within 15–30 minutes during business hours via encrypted email delivery.
Will the PIN work after another battery disconnect?
Yes for the same head unit. Keep the code so you are not locked out after the next service visit.
