I searched but can’t find the exact answers. I bought a C320 wagon a couple weeks ago and only got one key. The case is cracked etc but it works. I want to get a new case and a spare key but as we all know they are expensive. All that being said here are my questions:
1) My car is a 2002 C320 Wagon with a 3 button remote (counting the panic button). Most of the remotes I see have a trunk release button that mine does not have. Can I use a case that has the trunk release button (4 button remote) and just swap the internals out?
2) Can I use one of the fancy chrome keys with my car? There are quite a few used ones out there very reasonably priced. I realize I would not have the correct metal key and it would have to be reprogrammed or guts swapped out but none the less can I?
3) Can these keys be reprogrammed by me? I have read the dealer has to do it. That being said can they reprogram one of the chrome keys or another used key like mine or 4 button to work on my car and what would I expect to pay for the reprogramming?
Thanks in advance of the help. Want to have my research done before I got to the dealer or buy a used key and or new case.
