What shops actually get
Bulk pricing. An API. Webhooks. A human on the line. Numbers, not promises.
One credit pool. Every code type - map, MBUX, FBS4, activation. No expiry. No bands. No "starting at".
REST API drops into your DMS, booking flow, or invoice. No more copy-pasting VINs at 7pm.
Manual NTG6 / NTG7 / Gen20x jobs ping your endpoint the second they land. No polling. No Slack pings to us.
Your manual jobs jump every retail request. Same-hour turnaround during EU business hours. Not "soon".
Sign up at breakfast. First API call shipping codes by lunch. A human onboards you - not a docs page.
Swapped a head unit and it's bricked on the activation screen? Send the command serial. Get the PIN. Unit boots.
Head unit swaps
Swapped a Command or NTG head unit and now it won't boot past the anti-theft prompt. Send us the command serial - we return the PIN. €50. Done during EU business hours.
Real numbers
Dealer retail runs €350 per code. 10 a month = €42,000 a year. On Pro bulk credits, same 120 codes cost €4,800. Same customer price. €37,200 in margin you used to ship to Stuttgart.

Unlock Sport+, Race, and extra DYNAMIC SELECT modes Mercedes hid in coding.
AR navigation, smartphone integration extras, navigation personalisation, MBUX High.
