I got a S430L 1999 and it is one of the w220 model.
When I bought it, it only came with the spare key and this morning my dog was chewing it as it was his toy.
The locking and unlocking still works fine but the bit where you put in the key hole is completely f**ked up and it would go in if i really push it in. But however would not start the car.

(May be wrong) But I have heard there is way to program a new key to the car or something or a cheap way to get another key without letting the local merc dealing ripping me off for $500 USD for the key. (In HK by the way)

Any helps would be very much appreciated and if anyway know how to turn the Germany language on the TV screen back into English again (I have accidentally reset it while playing with it the other day)

Also the IR led looks abit f*cked as well..

thx

well.. I have taken to the Merc dealer in HK and they said the electronic inside is a bit f*cked and a replacement may be necessary..
Is there anyway to reprogram a new key to the Merc by any chances?
Shoot the dog is a good idea as well.. may be the oven will work as well?

A new key is the only thing that can be programmed to the car.

So how does it worked? where can i get a new key from and how can i get it programmed to the car.
Yes I am in Hong Kong.
And no we do not eat dog in HK and it is illegal too..

Although there are lot of places in China that has dog, cat, snack, all sort of animals...

I am a veggie btw..

i only got 1 key for the car and it is the one that has been chewed up.
It will unlock and lock the door.
However when I have sticked it in the car it will not turn the key at all.
Where are you based Greg?
There is only 1 Merc dealer in HK and they like ripping people off too.
Let me get my new key from Merc dealer first
I have ordered it already and it is $37xx HKD too.
