Lost Keys
I lost my keys to a C350. The alarm went off..it has stopped, but the emergency flashers are still going off. I have to get a new key programmed, but how can I disable it. I don't want to have a dead battery.

Last I was told, you cannot buy a key (off of eBay - for example), and have the dealer program it. You'd have to order the key from the dealer, showing proof of ownership, as well as the fact that the car is still in the country - in my case, they wanted to actually see the car. I hope you have a spare at home!

That is stupid. You just need to give hem your ID and they will look up their records and see if you are indeed the owner. After the verification and paying +$350 and waiting for a week or two you will have a new key from Germany. I remember my neighbor bought a CLS and after a few days his wife cleaned a box on their rooms and both keys are inside. He ended up waiting for 2 weeks to get the new keys.

Local dealers by me do MB Roadside so surely the dealership can dispatch the key via their roadside or do an roadside stop to "see the car". So no big deal.
