Why Your Mercedes ESL Is Failing
The ESL motor uses cheap carbon brushes that wear out after 8-10 years, regardless of mileage or maintenance. This $5 motor causes a $2,000+ repair at dealers who only replace entire units with the same flawed design.
Why Choose Emulator Over Repair?
- No Mechanical Parts - Nothing to wear out or fail again
- Permanent Solution - Never worry about ESL failure again
- Electronic Simulation - Perfect CAN bus communication
- Weather Proof - Works in all temperatures, no cold weather issues
- Same Security Level - Mercedes eliminated steering locks after 2014 anyway
- Fully Programmed - Matched to your EIS, keys, and VIN
