Wouldn't that be nice if the key got ruined and you had to shell out the new amount for a replacement or just say it was damaged when it arrived anyhow your lucky raymond-!!!!

Better than retail indeed. But as soon as they started getting orders from members of different Mercedes Forums...they raised the price...a better business decision would be for them to do a group buy. I don't think they will sell ANY upgrade keys now, just lost or damaged keys. In my opinion a company that does this just plain sucks!
Got my key on Friday. Best deal I ever got on Mercedes key, still can't believe it's only $61 for the whole set. Price have double since, but still is much cheaper compared to what dealer charge.
Since there are more than 8 keys ordered so far for my car (both previous owner and I must have common bad habbit of losing key, 3 on my part so far), the new key didn't work out of the box. Notice that Mercedes can only program the first 8 keys (they work w/ the car right out of the box), from the 9th key on, I have to manually program the key and the car EIS to recognize each other. W/ the help of my friend (Mercedes master tech), I was able to do this at home. Some dealer charge 1-3 hour to do this, some stealer require the entire EIS to be replaced ($2-3K job) once they see that you exceed the 8 key limit.
The key take much less time to learn the EIS, 90 min later, then it's all done, I guess they improve the chip inside. On my previous key (older style), it takes whole day.
So now I have three keys for my car: one in the original style, one in the later style, and one w/ the latest style.
or just say it was damaged when it arrived
