okay, I'm reviving this thread from a year ago. My friend got a 07 c230 loaner and I saw the key and it was pretty sweet. Anyone else try getting the new style key for their c-classes? If so, how much $ and resistance from the dealers?
Another cool feature the 07s have is the "beep" when you lock and unlock your vehicle, I believe it's called the Netherland setting, which I read in previous posts.
Any thoughts on these 2 items being done easier at the dealerships now that they're standard on the 07s?

2002 C320 (full AMG styling) - Brilliant Silver / Ash Leather (Orion Grey)
It's weired that you've resurrected this thread again. We only started a thread on this on a UK forum a few days ago...
All 2007 MY (model year) Mercedes Models appear to have this key now. Previously as posted in this thread this key came with cars equipped with Keyless Go. We've just tried to get hold of this key in the UK and aren't able to yet.
We're being told that the key will be possible for us in the UK but only when the old key is superceded. This part no has not superceded the old black plastic key in the UK yet. Apparantly there are still over 3000 old style keys at Daimler Chrysler UK!
Our parts specialists think it will be possible to get this key and for it to work. However, until these old keys are used up, if you have an old style key in the UK and go for a replacement (even with the newer part no) you will get an old key.
We showed some of our dealers this thread, but they have confirmed until the 3000 old keys are used up it's unlikely we're going to get our hands on these new keys

Now that they are standard on MY 07 here is the USA, my feeling is that there will be no problem getting them anymore.
The only roadblock before was that the part ordering system told the operater that this key was not for this car, and somehow we needed to convince the operator that it would work.
From here out, it should be clear sailing.

I had a third key programmed for my 270 when I first got it...obviously I had that done with the updated key which had cost me 50 euro.
for those who get all these weird stories about programming keys and the number of keys the car can work with:
- the car is able to fully support THREE keys (keeping all the memorised settings per key)
- the car is willing to take an additional FIVE keys (which makes a total of EIGHT)
- in the mercedes key programming tool there is room for FOUR replacements per key
- any key that has been programmed for your car before and is not in your possesion can be blocked by the dealer (using a programmer key that gets inserted in the ignition lock)
- dealerships in europe can programm the keys themselves
greetingz,

ctC230K: This is the key I am talking about. From the looks, just the case is different. Even the buttons are in the same location. Anyone have a part number for this or I am sure that even a case swap would keep the key working.

so can you swap out the old (short 4 botton) smartkey's ic board and put it into the new chrome smartkey case and just order a new blade key? used chrome keys are starting to show up on ebay already.

I don't know if this has been discussed but, is it possible to program the
pre 07 models to chirp/beep when the alarm is activated or deactivated like the current 07 models do. Don't know if it sounds or if it's the same as activating Netherland settings. Can anyone cofirm? Maybe Steve will know?

I thought there was someone on the board that had both the panic and the chirp. if I remember the story correctly, they took the car into the dealer to have something fixed and when they get the car back the chirp and panic BOTH worked. I'll search and find it for ya all.

Seems like you're not the only one to have both features. Check out https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/152991-silent-but-deadly.html
Hopefully Steve can shed some light on this for us all.
If it's possible, I just might activate it on my '02 coupe.
