Key FOB
Just picked up an '07 C280 4Matic for the wife. Unfortunately the car only came with one key fob. Any one know what the part number is for the key fob and what the cost is? Also does it need to be programmed by a dealership.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The dealer has to order from the MB security center for your VIN. Prices seem to vary from 200 to $325 with a few robbers even more expensive.

the programming consist of the dealer hooking it up to the star and removing unused/lost keys for security. This is a MBUSA requirement to the dealers. Also changing a black key to a chrome key is not an easy task unless you have to experience with electronics and soldering.

I thought you plug the new key in the ignition and it automatically programs is for you but I guess I was wrong. So it's just for clearing it huh?

The key does automatically program the other programming is needed to remove lost/stolen/unused keys that are no longer in your possession to keep the car from being stolen. I tried to do the key swap but my soldering iron was too big I tried to cut the leads with a razor but I bent a few pins each time went through a few keys before I gave up.
