I don't think you can use this new case with the older remote.
The old key has two battery stacked together.
The new one is thinner and each battery is in its seperate slot

Also I notice that the passenger seat now has power features just like the diver seat

Aren't the 07's using the same M272 engine????
Having a 25cty 30Hwy capability was one of the reasons I went with a C230. If I was shopping for a new car now, I'd be hard pressed to get the C230 now with its crappy new gas consumption stats.
Glad I got an 06.....

I hope the reason why the MPG went so low isn't because it is a flex fuel vehicle? That's the only difference I can think of mechanically with the new C230. I don't imagine the new speed sensitive power steering is going to make the car drink more fuel.

my car is not broken in with only 400 miles on it but 30 mpg is going to be easily achievable on the hwy.if i remember right the epa estimate has been changed on all cars to be a little more realistic. that was due to one of the other cars i have owned, the toyota prius which is a great car in in its own right . it showed accidentally how flawed the test was and because of it the epa changed the way the test is done resulting in lower gas mileage guesstimates for most cars. now i could be wrong but i believe that is the case. so far i can touch about 29 per gal fairly easily and when the car is broken in 30 wont be a big deal. ( i hope)

To reiterate another members question: Do I order one as a replacement or as an additional key? Couldn't you just ask the dealer you want the new key, and ask them to deactivate your existing key and make the new one primary?

I'm considering ordering an 07 C350 sport. Finally, they have gone to a good looking dash, with two large bezels rather than the current goofy looking arch ala S class. Are the current "sport" 5 spoke wheels going to be available?

Just found out (What is MB doing ? )
Dear friends,
Hi, just found out in MBUSA website, the 2007 c-class specs is in the site already and the e-brochure is out, as I'm one of the readers in this forum site , we were expecting a few new things for 07, but two things I noticed that they did not include in this 2007 e-brochure. the climate control is not digital and the fuel system is not E85, I mean we saw about a month ago that there is a scan of the 2007 brochure that says digital climate control will be standard, and even the E85 fuel system is being announce in their ( MB USA's website )
Just a little irritating to hear about this , and also getting annoyed of the long wait, ordered the car last week of April. still waiting.
Do you guys think they will be included in late productions of the car ?
Gary

I think they will put the digital in a later date.
Also, in www.mbusa.com web sites, it lists "MB Tex Upholstery" is standard but my 07 C230 has code 111 for front seats leather inserts.
Also, their web site lists "Height-adjustable front center armrest with dual enclosed storage compartments and 3-way lid (upper tray opens from left or right lower compartment from front) But my car has only the option to open from the front and not the sides and it is single compartment and not dual.
I guess you must have the phone option to have dual compartments

I checked my 2007 Manual and it is showing both dial type and digital type for HVAC Control. But under the dial type it has a note "depend on the build date of your vehicle".
I think they will put the digital in a later date.
