keyfob lighter than before.

Anyone else notice that the W205 keyfob is lighter than the older keyfobs?

Seems like this one is made of plastic while the older one is metal... Is it possible to take a heavy keyfob and reprogram it? I like having a heavy keyfob... feels more expensive.

Just weighed my own fob and one from W204 and another from a W212 and they all weigh 45g


It is possible that the US fobs are made differently for the W205 but I do not think so.

Probably all in your mind. I'd prefer a lighter key.

The U.S. fob sure seems like metal, not plastic. I've never had an MB before, so can't compare to older fobs.
