CLK55 doesn't start?
Recently i was planning on taking my 2001 CLK55 AMG for a drive when the key wouldn't turn in the ignition, it wasn't even recognized by the car 
After that, i did some research and found that i needed a new key. So i had the car towed to the dealership and had the key replaced.
New problem. Car recognizes the key, key is able to turn....car wont start.
Battery is charged and there are no problems i can see...but whats wrong with my car?

shouldnt the dealers sort it out it give you back a starting car?
i guess the problem is still in imobilizer if it was ok before
try to disconnect the battery for a good few hours
wish you all the best

was it a replacement key they ordered or is it on a new track? if its replacing an existing key track then the key must be left in the ignition for quite some time before it will work.
