I have a brand new, MBZ factory "Additional" key that was dealer ordered for my 06 E350 Wagon. The dealer did not have access to the car when the new key came from MBZ. I was told that it had to be "programmed" by a dealer but I also have read that it will work immediately and many other stories abound.

Do any of you learned folks, preferably those who actually work for MBZ dealers, actually know what to do in this case? Again: brand new factory supplied "additional" key for a 2006 E350 that has not been local dealer programmed to the car.

Happy New Year!
