1. On the metal of the key, I seem to remember that the genuine MB keys are a harder material than most keys - but I'm not sure.
2. On the remote kit, I bought one for $42.00 on eBay and I am very satisfied with it, although the first one I received was defective. The remote I have is very small and has chrome metal around the edges so it doesn't get beat up; it has fairly good range considering that I mounted the box and antenna in the console of an '85 SL. So, price doesn't always go with quality.
A horror with pre-86 installations, however, is getting the actuators to work with the vacuum system. Once I puzzled out how to mount it and modify some parts in the kit, it was easy.
If you don't have good working locks, don't even bother with these kits until you get that straightened out first.
