just fold down your rear seats.
if you cant then take apart rear seats, you tube how to remove rear seats. here you go .
so much for that theirs a couple of hooks only accessible threw trunk to remove top portion of seat.

Sorry, I cannot help you but in case it happens again you can always gaffa tape a spare metal key to the underneath of the vehicle in a secure & safe spot. I have always done this with all my cars in the past. Gets you out of these Holy Sheeeeet moments.

As I know from past experience, similar to yours, breaking into these cars will set off the 4way flashers & alarm and also shuts down the entire elec system. Nothing will work.

MB flat bedded me home and I picked up my spare key. I am guessing you don't have a spare key? MB can get one for you but it takes a few days and a few hundred dollars.

The flat metal key will directly open the trunk, but I guess your's is in the trunk too.

Tough one, you have my sympathy

A car
Knock on the trunk lid and hopefully the person you tried to kidnap will open it for you.

This happened to me once. I usually throw my bag into my trunk after work, but this time I forgot I threw my keys in there. Immediately after i closed it, the trunk opened back and I was like wth...oh ****, my keys lol and i thought it was pretty cool feature so I tried it again but this time it didn't pop up. Luckily my door was opened but for some reason my alarm went off and i didnt know what to do. I started to panic and started pressing everything until i hit the push start and apparently that did the trick. The car still read the key even though it was in the trunk.

You can try these two options

1. Call Mercedes roadside assistance, they have sneaky ways getting into the trunk on some vehicles.

2. If you are tight on money or don't want to buy a new key just purchase a blade key. you can have them order a really cheap version which will not fit your key 203-766-01-06-9999 MSRP of about $20 you can put this key in the trunk hole and manually open the trunk.

im away from my computer at the moment but wanted to share that if your
model is set up similar to the 210 models in that the trunk lock is actuated by
air, we can remove the air hose from the pump and blow/puff air into the hose
and the trunk will open. the PSE pump terminal is labeled "heck" for rear/trunk

Happend to me on the first week used the trunk button for the "last time" to only unlock the boot.
Had to await the and key to be brought to the car from home.
The boot lock is electrically operated locked/unlocked.
