My wife picked up her 2003 E-320 today after an annual service.

Because the valet had the car running, she did not notice this little gadget attached to the key fob with a wire tie until she got home.

It appears to have a clear plastic insert on the big end, maybe an LED.

Does anyone have any idea what it is and why they may have attached it to the key fob?

It is a tracking device for your wife..


Not really.. I think it is just a complimentary key chain light from them.. they do those goodwill things til your warrantee runs out.. then you can't nothin'..until you remember when they gave you this gift and you buy
another new car .

Looks like yer basic 1/4 inch stereo plug. Unscrew the barrel and see what's in there.
