Why'd you want to? Those keys are ugly. Besides, new models have the start button permanently embedded into the car. In w205 you can still start the car with your key.

Damn $500 is a lot of money. And I don't think anyone would pay that much just for a key. but just for info, will the new key work on the pre-facelift if you program it for the car, or does it require a modified old key. Cause you can find the pre-facelift key for like $15 then you need to program it, which I assume you'd need the dealer for right?

Give it a few months and the Chinese will make a case that you can put your older key inside to get that new look.

Unfortunately we have to autoclave all the keys coming from China, and they don't work well after they cool down.

Well yh that's quite the torture you're giving them, not even the genuine keys would hold to autoclaving

The metal key still works pretty well after autoclaving.

It's too bad there aren't any Dutch cars that you could sit in and enjoy a Heineken, since they stopped making the DAF.
