I only got one key with my new (used) car - for whatever reason
Fancying a spare key and getting the info it will be £240 from the Benz-dealer yikes I did the usual browse in the bay
They are around for about a tenth of the price
Can they be recoded - and if so does somebody know where???

Unfortunately you will have to accept that Mercedes will rape your wallet, the ones from ebay are not recodeable.

Seconded.The only way is to order one from mb.At least you get the shiny new design with the chrome on it and they don't have to mess about with the car for hours recoding it.

Cough - just done exactly that
That'll be £ 720 altogether for you Sir banghead as on the way to the Benz Garage something punctured my front tire and I could only limp there and had to accept their quote on two Conti Sport Contact 245/45 18 Y tires at 220 each :weep:.....
