1997 S500 Ignition Key alarm Info Needed
I just bought a 1997 S500. THe owner doesn't have the keyless remote key, but does have another plain style key. He claims that the key he has (which turns the ignition BTW) doesn't have the "chip" in it so the anti-theft prevents the car from starting.
I find it hard to believe that Mercedes would make a key that unlocks the doors, and turn the ignition without that key being able to start the car. Anyone buy that? If so, is there a way to bypass the anti-theft, so that I can drive this car? He says that it'll start if he pours some gas down the throttle, yet claims that since he doesn't have the "right" key, the ignition is disabled. Well anyway, I haven't picked up the car yet and I won't know what's going on until I get it.

I have info but it's buried right now (well, not in the ground, you know what I mean), when do you have to pick up the car?

Those remote keys go for around 200 each. And the car should start even without the keyless remote....sounds like another problem. If the owner wants to sell the car..have him get the correct key then.

WOW that's a heavy car, my winch was screaming when it was pulling the car onto the trailer. Truck ran hot most of the way home too, that's a trhead for the ford f150 forum,,,
How sure are are you Benica? Cause I would tend to agree with you. I guess time will tell.

Benica, You are correct, the car started with the fuel from the CSV. THen the engine stalls. seems to run for about 1-2 seconds, so now that I have officially played with it, I'm going to go looking for a better suited thread.
