Mercedes-Benz C Class W202
My key can't turn to position 1

Hi, there. I had a problem with my car C180 - W202
I parked yesterday after that when I came back and put the key - nothing I can not turn the key in any position. I just wondering is that was mine car but yes it is.
I can open the doors and windows and close it with remote,
but nothing with ignition. I try to open driver's door with the key but and there I haven't luck. I can just open manualy the boot.
I tryed so many solutions which I found in the forum - knocking, vibrating, dosconecting the battery. But there is no result. I like this car I don't want to scrap it, but I think the problem is serious.
Can somebady help me with any idea?

05 crossfire w/SL55 drivetrain installed by Rudy Compart Intake/Needswings best et-10.76 @ 129
this is what i found for you. i know a Crossfire is not a Mercedes but only the skin,the glass, and the emblem are Chrysler, the rest of the car is MERCEDES. I had to drill out the pin and then remove the other spring and pin, but mine now works great, the first person to do this was two years ago and his still works perfect today. good luck. the older systems are the same.im
