How can I open the key? Guy from Germany needs help... :)

[Ph1l1pp]

Hello,
I am from Germany and drive a '92 190E 2,3.
I've bought on ebay.com the key of a M-Class, because these keys are very rare in Germany and I want to fit in the electronic of my remote control.
How can I open the key? I can open the battery case, but not the other part, where the electronic is in.
Can someone help me?



Hope my english is not too bad.

Regards from Germany,
Phil

Dieser schlussel is nur schoen, aber arbeited nieder in dies auto. Excuse my German!
I dont know if the 190 ever had a remote in 92, my 140 remote is one button and was huge for my 92 SEL, they subsequently went to another smaller one in 94/5. I think the 129 SL was the first to use one in 91 and was made by Siemens. There have been at least six generations of remotes with the smart key and the wallet cards the latest. I think some of the very early remotes with keys could be coded in, and that is not a guarantee. The (my) ML replacement remote had to be activated by MB with the HHT.
The only thing those MB remotes on e-bay are good for is status symbols, and replacing a worn housing.

Sorry for my German, I dont remember how my 99 ML remote came apart, did not have it that long. I did have to replace one remote but the dealer had to code it in thru the HHT.
I would look for a seam and pry the halves apart!
