Wow , there are such nice people in here .......... I have posted many times about helping a girl out and never got this type of response , ..................um.......... I don't need to were a size too small , I have great paid for boobs that look fantastic in any bra, and no matter what type of jeans I do wear , my butt always looks great ,mostly because of my tight 26 inch size stomach !!!! but other then all this nonsense , is there anyone that can truly help , without fantasy !! .......??

wait what did you need again i kinda got lost with all the thinking and what not.

The dealer should be able to get you the radio code with proof of ownership and your vin.

The key should be PNP if was purchased from the dealer. If purchased from eBay, its a pretty paperweight.

There are idiots on every forum. Your, and every other dealer has acess to your code for the radio unless it has been changed privetaly.
I do find fault in everyone who asks "what is my radio code" if you ever used a dealer they can pull it up in the MVI and give it to you.

After posting this, they men maybe alittle busy....

The key was purchased at a Mercedes Dealership , ........... so whats PNP ???? Stand for ??? ........................ and if I just go to the dealership they should sync the key for me ?? or will they charge me ??? and about the sercurty code for the radio ,............ should I just call them and give them the VIN # , or should I go to them anyway ............... Thank you

Ha ha ha ha. Thanks! I needed to have some laughs this afternoon to get the weekend off to a good start.

Somebody here will have the answer to your question. The rest of us will try to keep you laughing until then . . .

The key was either programed correctly and therefore will work, or it wasn't and won't.

I just called the dealership in my area , Inskip Mercedes Benz .......... they told me that even though I paid $128 from them for the key , it would cost an addtional $58 to sync it ............. does that sound fair ??? ............why ???? doesn't make sense , ............ and they told me that they would give me the security code for the radio with the Vin # , why would they sell a key for $128 without it working right ???? stupid !!!!!!!!! dealership !!!!!!!!!! ....money money money , they all want my money !!

You won't get a lot of argument about that here.

Since the key was purchased at a dealership, it should have been synchronized there. When I bought mine, the lady told me to try all the remote functions BEFORE inserting it into the ignition and if the remote didn't work, bring it back and they will fix it.

Is your key the kind that has no "blade", just a short, blunt end that goes into a square hole? If so, it's the same as mine. Mine cost $154 at the dealer so yours is not far off that price. I've heard of others being more expensive...

PNP is Plug and Play by the way...

I think a new key needs to be registered, I would call and ask to speak to the service manage or director of service. If that di oes not work ask to meet the Zone MB rep the next time he /she is in the area also try 1800formercedes and register a complaint about the sync function (which is valid I think)

The reason why you must go to the dealer for the code, is security. Anybody could steal a radio, come in here, ask for the code, and have a working, stolen radio to sell.

Good luck with the key thing.

All this and you've got a taste for Mercedes'........ Where have you been all my life.

I've gotten what I'd assume is the same replacement key for my E-430. I just went in to the dealer, not even the one I purchased it from, and they were able to sync it for me at no charge. The radio code as a 5 minute freebie at any dealer.

I'd suggest you put your "paid for" goods to use and get that key programed at no cost.

Jubie- I can get your radio code, but maybe not till I'm back at work on Monday. I'll see if I can call down and get it Saturday morning if some one is there that can run it for me.

I've never tried this without using the MB diag tool, BUT try this:

stick your new key in the ignition and turn to the second position (this lets the AAM learn what key # you are using)
remove the key, press and hold the lock button and within the next 10 second, press the unlock button 5 times, then release the lock button.

The key should work after that. 98-05 ML's are typically the only model whose keys don't come pre-synced. They still used DAS 2b instead of the infrared DAS 3 keys all the other models use after 1996.

Thanks JohnHef
 

If you can .............please do and try to get that code for me on Monday , that would be great ................... and I already tried that thingie with the key .......it didn't work , but thanks .............. hope to hear from you on Monday , Thanks again

Think highly of yourself don't you?

Sounds like your attitude matches the size of your implants!

Try getting a sense of HUMOR when you are at the dealership aloch with the Radio Code and the program for your key!

Well THANKS A LOT, I tried that at my local MB dealer today, and the service manager punched me in the face! Luckily, my beard covers most of the bruising.

Good luck Jubie, even if it does turn out to be legitimate that seems like an awful lot of money for a dang car key.

They'll be able to get you your radio code for sure, though.

Radio code is 11152

FYI you've got an open recall still for the harmonic balancer- you should take the car in and get that checked/replaced. It's a recall so it's no cost to you.

Where else in the World would one get service from a Forum like that ???????


Very Cool.........

Thank You VERY VERY much , that was very kind of you , and thanks for the other info as well , I will go to the dealer and have them sync my key and check that recall, Thanks again and thanks to all who replyed as well , ...........even the wise comments also , Funny stuff !!!

I put the code in ..............
 

The radio says ...((( WAIT ))) ................ its been that way all day , does the car need to be running for a certain time ?? or should I just ........WAIT ??? lol lol lol .......thanks

This is the most throught-provoking thing I have read all day. ;)

Jubie,

You really need to take your car in for the Harmonic Balancer recall.

Everything is covered by Benz while they do the work. They'll even give you a free loaner car.

Should this part go bad like it did on my car, it can cause all sorts of ancillary damage, like cracking your timing chain cover and oil pan.

Theses parts are also covered by Mercedes should the part fail, but instead of taking a day, it will take up to a week.

So you put it in 3 times then right? if the code doesnt work then the radio has been replaced at some point and no one bothered to update the VMI. YTou only get 3 shots with the wrong code, the wait time gets longer the more you try so best to wait for the correct code.

I'll need the serial number off the radio to be able to get the correct code now. Sorry :o

Hi and thanks again for all your help .......... I just got the car back yesterday from the dealers , they did that recall you told me about , Thank You Very Very much about that , ........ they charged me $57.00 to sync that new key , but the radio is still not working , it said wait for the longest time , then this morning after leaving the radio on all night with the car off , it finalley asked me for the code again , I put it in 11152 , then it asked me again , I put it in again , and then it asked one more time , after the 3rd time , it said wait again , ......... I left the radio on all day at work , when i left work a short time ago , it ask me for the code again , and once again i put it in 3 times , now its saying wait again ........... now in your last post you said something about doing this 3 times ,............ will I have to do this again ???

Update .....................I just did it again 3times , this is the 3rd time I put those numbers in .........once again it says wait ,................ I'll update the forum when it works or when it ask for security code again
