oempdr

won't do it anymore,giving a vin to a 3rd party supplier was probably landing them in hot water.You need to take the car,paper work,proof of ownership,vin# and your first born child to a mb dealer,shop several,one member just got his for 165 and that is about the best deal since the guys that were doing it illegally figured out they were charging to little for the nice key,and raised their prices.

Duval charges $134 for electronic key and $4 for the blade. Don't know if it is chrome.
Than you still have to take it to the dealer for programming.

got mine

in Dallas on July 16th. Took one day. They never saw the car. License and registration only.They handed me the key and I walked out to the car and every thing worked fine. The chrome key was $161.70. The flat keys were $4.94 each. She even gave me 2 very nice key fobs. Total with tax was $185.74. And it is real nice.

Someone reported that the chrome keys are the only ones available now, so if you order one from a dealer, that's what you'll get.

I hope so. I am ordering one on Monday. Will let you know if few days. Local dealer gave me over $200 bid and I would have to drive there twice.
