How many keys did your C-class come with

Salesman only gave me 2 smart keys. I could have sworn I have seen thin smartkeys that are valet only keys. How many did you guys get with your car?

I got two smart keys. When you give your key to the valet driver, take out the metal key and lock the glove box and the trunk. that's all there is to it.

Ali, the thin, black smart-key without buttons you are referring to have not been provided starting with the 2002 model year. I have one with my 2001 (three keys total).

Those valet keys no longer exist. There should only be 2 keys. I think they got rid of those starting with 2002 models, but there might be some exceptions to this.

EDIT - Bob, you beat me to it.
