Reporting back for those who are interested, very happy with the look / feel of the key back I got. Only word of advice for those looking to do the same is to stay away from the China based shippers if you want an OEM part

I love the features of the 7 series key, but that thing is massive! Would much prefer to have all the same features on my phone and just use that as the key (with a regular fob in the glovebox to hand off to the valet).

We are most of the way there with the MBrace app, but it doesn't consistently work and could benefit from being a bit quicker to respond.

Does it double as a cell phone?

I would hope so. But that begs the question.......WHY? Bigger is not always better and if the functions that key incorporates could be contained in an App on my phone, that would be better. Oh wait, MB does that. It's called MBrace.

Uhmmm.. you guys realize that's not a genuine image right? I was merely raising the question of how big it actually is.

As nice as it looks, in reality it's just another bloody thing that's going to run out of battery power and will need constant management. I would prefer a smart phone app if it has to involve a touch screen.

There is a key holder in the new 7-series that charges the key

Yeah, like back in my day the cars came with a key holder as well; it was called a lock you stick the key into.

Don't get me wrong, I love wireless smart keys but if you have keyless start system it kind of defeats the point if you have to constantly plug the key into a charger or put it in a special holder (i.e. the point being you still have to dig the key out of your pocket).

About $80, but china sellers have em for as low as 25-30. If you have friends that work at a MB dealership near you, they can also snag you one for free...

VIC : all of our AMG's C63 CLA45 and GLA45 come with 2 battery cover remotes with the AMG badge on it. Maybe one of the lot guys have a bunch of them at home and are the ones selling it? I personally got one for my c450. Helps make your key more distinguished.
