Peter, my 1997 has no smart key. (I think that only the 1997 units shipped to US have it. Mine also lacks OBDII)
Case closed !
You are so lucky, the smart keys are of no advantage over traditional keys. First of all, they do not last. I have had to replace both of my originals at substantial cost. Secondly, they are much bulkier than a key so keeping one on a keychain is bad enough, but I have 2 Benzes with smartkeys so I cannot carry a single keychain with both keys on it!

Count your blessings...I wish I could convert my car back to a traditional key!
