Correct - just chipped key blade no remote buttons. It has two lobes on each side for gripping (and looks like mickey mouse).

OK; I get it now.

Thx

This is only available for pre-EIS cars. The smart key blades are NOT chipped and only open trunk and doors..........

shop around, call some indy shops too. My last quote was 280/- had to bring car in with title and ID..

Call other dealers. The dealers do not have to be local either. I've paid $140 for these smart keys out the door, but I have a wholesale account, and I can only do my cars.

As was said search online. You should be able to fax the needed info. I am in Seattle and I get best dealer prices for Toyota parts in Texas and BMW parts in Florida. Some dealers offer a discount if you say you are with a club. Pick a club and say you are with it. No one ever asked me for proof.

I bought one from the local dealer in Palm Springs. The price was $247. All I had to do was bring the car in so they could check the VIN . The key arrived about a week later. They went to the car and in a couple of minutes had it "tied" in to the car.
Do you have an indie that does work for you? If so, he might be able to call your local Mercedes and get his discounted price for you. That is how I got mine discounted.

This is a very, very good deal.
I will try to find someone to get this discount for me.
Thanks.

I was just on Manufacturers, Suppliers, Exporters & Importers from the world's largest online B2B marketplace-Alibaba.com and they will bulk sell Mercedes smartkeys for very little money (a few dollars) and they will also sell the equipment to program them. Just search mercedes smartkey and then add programmer.

It would appear that somebody could make a pile of money selling programmed keys if they had the smarts to do it. I would be glad to buy from a reputable outfit such as Peach Parts.
