I RECENTLY LOST MY ONLY KEY. WENT TO MB DEALERSHIP, THEY TOOK MY VIN, SENT IT TO BALTIMORE. SINCE MINE WAS AN EURO, BALTIMORE CONTACTED GERMANY. THE WHOLE PROCESS TOOK ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND $22.50.

I TOOK MY NEW AND ONLY KEY TO A LOCKSMITH. THEY MADE TWO KEYS. HE STATED THAT MB LOCKS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN US VEHICLES AND THE KEY FROM MB WAS STEEL. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I USE THE MB KEY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND USE THE COPIES FOR EMERGENCY ONLY. HE STATED THE COPIES WILL ULTIMATELY BREAK OFF WITH USE SINCE THEY ARE NOT MADE OF STEEL.
