This wouldn't be as much of a problem if Mercedes designed and allowed the keys to be copied like you can with most domestic makes at any Ace Hardware...


ever since the soviet union broke up, car theft in w. europe took a big swing up. that's why all the hoops we have to go through to get keys, modules, etc. thank the russian bootleggers. chuck[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I meant the chip keys. Ace can remake certain chip keys, had it done a while back and now that I remember it, it was for a 2003 Dodge Sprinter so they can make some of these keys but not sure if they're licensed to make Mercedes ones.
