Scam I don't know how they keep getting away with it. I filed a complaint to eBay and they didn't do anything about it. It looks like the same seller too.

COMPATIBILITY: This will work on all of the following models equipped with a smart key entry system. Please check with dealer or locksmith for programming. You must have special equipment to reprogram this. There is no returns on this remote so do your homework before you purchase. My 60 day money back gurantee only applies to DOA ( dead on arrival ) units and since these are tested before they are shipped there will not be any DOA units.
2001-2005 MERCEDES C CLASS, ALL MODELS
FCC ID : IYZ 3312
OK ONE MORE TIME, HERE IS THE DEAL ON THESE KEYS. WE ARE POSTIVE THESE CAN BE REPROGRAMMED USING SPECIAL EQUIPMENT. NOT ALL DEALERS CARRY THIS EQUIPMENT SO YOU MAY NEED TO CHECK WITH A LOCKSMITH IN YOUR AREA. DO THIS BEFORE YOU BID, NOT AFTER, THERE IS NO RETURNS ON THIS ITEM, DONT ASK !!!!!!

In other words they have no clue. If they verified it they would state so - NOT

How many more times must we put up with this question about ebay and keys.? Why is it every time someone finds a new worded ad they immediately post a new thread and ask. Which part of NO from all the previous threads is not understood?![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
And while we are at it, look at the title:
2001 2002 2003 01 02 03 MERCEDES KEY REMOTE C320 COUPE
AFAIK the coupe was never delivered with a trunk release button on the key. Some members posted that they were able to change the housing because the actual key innards had the button, but not the case.

If you're getting a new key, you might as well do it right, and get a new version of your key. Looks much better, is more substantial, and also has the truck opening button. I've used that several times, and it's a nice feature.

As far as my desire for a second key for recently purchased CLK, I'm hoping I'll find out who the lessee was and get lucky with them. Otherwise it's one key for me!

I'd never do it, but think about it: MB has to get their "blank keys" from somewhere and program them somehow, no? I know a guy that bought an MB at an auction, got only one key, then couldn't get another from dealer cuz it was "keyed out", having had 13 keys cut and that, he was told, was the limit. I'm offtopic in my own thread, but the key thing is whack! So, you order a key from dealer, pay $200+, and somehow a "blank" key gets cut and programmed for you. It mighta started as one of this guy's "blanks". They're prolly stolen from MB! I could be wrong (don't drink and BBerry!)

I understand they're $200+; depending upon how "broken" your key is, you may be able to use one of the keys on eBay (the link in this thread or others)....the "guts" of the key that you remove when you're changing batteries just gets inserted into the new key's housing. The new key's "guts" are useless. Again, that presupposes that you didn't squash your key's guts!

There is a way of transplanting the chip, but that requires precise soldering which most of you won't want to attempt.

I assume benzito911 has the old style key, as I do for my W203 and W209. The guts from one old style key would slide into another, no?
