You're lucky. My car was in for 4 separate warranty issues (2 of which required them to connect the star diagnostic computer anyway!!) at the time that I asked for the phone programming. We have bought 2 cars from them ourselves, a 3 year extended warranty, AND we tip the service advisor, and we got them another sale to a friend. They don't give a damn. On top of all that, since I was being screwed and charged an hour labor, I asked them to enable the lock / unlock beeps. I provided a printout with step by step instructions on how to do it (it's 3 or 4 clicks of the mouse). I was told they could not do it and have no idea how. They are a complete waste.

since your in socal, just call around to different places. Unfortunately, each mercedes dealership has different prices on parts and services. I remember house of imports wanted $260 for a new key...then i asked Fletcher Jones and they said $200...then i asked signal hill long beach and they said $230.

How ridiculous is that bogus fee for decommissioning a key?
One blow from my framing hammer and it’ll never work again.
Seriously, no legitimate dealer should request your old “lost” key to sell you a new one.
When you’ve located it once again, it’ll be your spare, no?
Damn pleased I pick up a new one for >$100. Unfortunately, such is not the case these days.
