Understanding Your EDC16C2 Options
Choosing the right ECM configuration is crucial for a smooth installation process. Let’s explore the differences between our Plug & Play and Factory Programming options for the EDC16C2:
Plug & Play EDC16C2 Installation
Our Plug & Play service simplifies the installation process. We pre-program your replacement EDC16C2 with the data extracted from your original unit. This eliminates the need for any programming on your end, making it truly “plug and play.” Simply send us your old ECM, and we’ll take care of the rest. A prepaid shipping label will be provided upon purchase. This ensures your new EDC16C2 is perfectly matched to your vehicle.
Factory Programming EDC16C2 Installation
The Factory Programming option provides a pre-programmed and coded EDC16C2. Upon installation, you’ll only need to perform a quick “teach-in” procedure for drive authorization. This can be done using most standard diagnostic scan tools. We can even assist you remotely if needed. With this option, you don’t need to send us your original ECM beforehand.
Ordering Your Remanufactured EDC16C2
Ordering your remanufactured Bosch EDC16C2 is a straightforward process:
- Choose Your Service: Select either “Plug & Play” or “Factory Programming” based on your preference and technical capabilities. Note that some ECMs may only be available as Plug & Play.
- Enter Your Vehicle Information: Provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to ensure compatibility.
- Ship Your Original ECM (Plug & Play Only): If you choose Plug & Play, you’ll receive a prepaid shipping label to send us your original ECM.

Mercedes-Benz ECM Terminology Clarification
While generically referred to as an ECM or ECU (Engine Control Unit), Mercedes-Benz uses specific terms: ME (Motor Electronics) for gasoline engines and CDI (Common Rail Direct Injection) for diesel engines. All these terms refer to the same essential component – the engine’s control unit, in this case, the EDC16C2.
