If any of you are looking to replace your key with the newly styled one, Schumacher just sold me one for $215. That's the new style key and a new blade. Turn around is a day if you get in there in the morning when they open.

Thanks but thats no deal.. There 175 at the dealership in carlsbad CA

Can we get specifics and make our dealer match another dealers price?

andy_meng1024

Does that price include Keyless Go and who should I talk to?

Xhale707

The baby C class never had keyless go =P Unless modded i believe. So sorry

ChrisBrown

I can scan my sales slip if you want. Would that work for price matching?

phoenix_iii

I think so. Maybe write 'non-employee' on it, but you shouldn't 'have to' do that. Thanks! Can PM/email if that's easier.

Thats a steal

ggms16

I paid around 300$ for a new one..

phoenix_iii

For a key and programming?? Yes, info needed please!! I will mail my only key in and wait if they need it...

cpbeasley

i cant give away the info on how i get it that cheap out in the open, but would be willing to help you for a small fee to make it worth my time and gas money. still cheaper than the others.

if youre interested let me know.

cpbeasley

all i would need is a VIN#. yes you get blade key and the remote FOB that it sticks into it.

pcy

Are you serious you can get the key just by giving the VIN? And no dealer programming necessary?
or you saying that you know someone who can do the programming? (if it's the latter, then I would be interested).

cpbeasley

yep. just a VIN. I dont know if its due to new keys or whatever, but thats all they needed for mine. And the new style Key is worth the money even if you dont need a new one :p just looks so much better.
Cool beans, huh?

andy_meng1024

Can you ask how much they can do for a key including Keyless Go?

WaveyKat

the last couple of deals i went to regarding a NEW key they wanted to see the car along with the registration.

cpbeasley

huh, well to the couple interested, I'll let you know. Maybe I wont get as lucky with the ease of obtaining your keys, however if they do require some tangible info, perhaps it wont be impossible to provide me with me either... in the name of saving a few bucks, why not?

ill be in touch

drb930

PM me please.

here is the website for aristocrat.

http://aristocratmotors.com/

look up their number on there website and ask to speak to Mercedes Parts...

ive purchased multiple keys from there, but in person...

cars that my families purchased from there we just had our SA order extra keys during routine service... so we didnt have to show any proof of ownership..

the few keys ive ordered directly from parts i had to show registration and proof of insurance when i picked the keys up....

youll have to search this forum because there are 2 separate part numbers for the actual key fob and the metal key....

the metal key runs about 6-7 bucks... $125 sounds too cheap but call them and ask for the price.

they also give MBCA discount 10% on parts and labor.....

-good luck

drb930

I called them and they will only sell the key to someone in person.

Xhale707

I can see someones point on that.. But if they look up the VIN.. Look up your REG they can find out that your the owner. Give them your drivers LIC as well. To prove you own the car..

They do that just to make sure i don't pull someones VIN from the car down the street and in two weeks the cars in my garage. lol

ChrisBrown

You have to fill out forms that are sent into Mercedes before they ship the key. They cut the blade and program the key for your car before it is sent to the dealer. They have all of the security codes for your car in a central database. The key is sent prepped to activate a learning mode the first time it is inserted. It then pairs with your car and is "mated" at that point.

+1 And like the earlier reply, i had to come back to the dealership with the car so that they can see it in person. I had a different car the first time i went there and even with my registration in hand they still wanted to see the car. I paid $240 with tax.
