I keep GENUINE MERCEDES spares for personal fleet use.
No idea how many I have replaced, but it is a huge number through the years.


It is an incredibly simple DIY.
#1. Slide the key blade in.
#2. Slide the locking card in until it engages the tabs.
Enjoy.

The plastic key handle fits R170 W108 W114 W116 W123 W126 W201
