Surely there must be a similar service in USA?

BTW : I once bought an MB and owner had lost the spare FOB. He ordered one from dealer. They need car when they program it - they connect to a server in Germany!) Cost him something over $300. Then he found the missing key
I have used that vendor in canada when I visited some freinds in missisuaga, there was also an EIS repair service - if your EIS had failed. It was a different vendor though.

Its quite difficult to do in USA with advertisements as Mercedes Benz USA will come after the vendor. I know that the vendor has a special keyfob with a cable attached to it - he puts it in, and can pull the key hashes from it and write a key for the car. Its not as simple as it sounds though.
