MBRetrofit Tools

API

Programmatic access to Mercedes‑Benz map code generation (NTG 5/5.5/5s1/5s2, regions like Europe), VIN decode and service history, plus diagnostic seed keys. Secure, credit‑based REST API.

The MBRetrofit API lets you programmatically access the same features available in your dashboard — including Mercedes‑Benz navigation map code generation, VIN decode and service history lookup, and diagnostic seed keys — for platforms such as NTG 5, NTG 5.5, NTG 5s1, and NTG 5s2 across regions like Europe.

Overview

The MBRetrofit API is a simple, secure REST API for Mercedes‑Benz retrofit and diagnostics workflows:

  • Generate navigation map activation codes for NTG 5/5.5/5s1/5s2 and region/version combinations
  • Retrieve diagnostic seed keys to unlock ECUs/modules (UDS seed/key exchange)
  • Look up vehicle data: VIN decode and official service history

Authentication

All requests require an API key sent in the request header. Keep your key secret and never embed it in client-side code.

Header:

x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Environments:

  • Production: https://mbretrofit.it/api/v1
  • Test: https://mbretrofit.it/api/test/v1 (uses the same x-api-key)
