Thumbs down NEED HELP LOST KEYS NEED TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL

Hi everyone, (I have a 2012 C300 4Matic)
to make a long story short
i lost my spare key a while ago and have been doing just fine for about a year until yesterday I lost my only set left. They are nowhere to be found, even had a rallye motors mb roadside assistance guy come to open the trunk (for 137$ by the way) only to find the keys weren't inside the trunk as my last cling of hope

The car is parked extremely close to the right side of my garage, and I need to figure out anyway possible to get it out so i can continue my search for the lost keys before having to shell out a couple hundred for a new set and waiting days for them to arrive.

Is there a shift override button at all anywhere in this car to get this car out of park and out of my garage so I an keep looking for the keys on the side of the garage (the most probable place to where I may have left them).

Also to make the story even worse, i received a 385$ keychain as a birthday gift after receiving the car from my relatives that is attached to the missing keys.


PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. THEY HAVE BEEN MIA FOR OVER 48 HOURS AND COUNTING NOW.


Shift override? Anywhere at all?? Please someone help me with positive news I need to get this car out of my garage, and if the car is removed from the garage, is it possible to get it back in....

I would probably spent the $200 and get a new key, if you ever find the old key then keep it as a spare
