So im new the the AMG game as you can see from my number of posts.

And I just picked up a '05 C55 and am wondering what i should hang off of my keyfob. i want something nice, simple, and clean. like a MBZ, or AMG, logo of some sort, but i cant find of those suckers any ANYWHERE! Ebay was full of wack *** keychains. and the dealership would probably charge me up the *** for one. What you guys hang off of your key fobs? suggestions?

hope this isnt in the wrong place... EEEP!

welcome to the forum and congrats on the new car!

on one of my keys, i have a a keychain with an MB logo on one side, and my dealerships info on the back (obviously got it for free).

on the key i use, i have all of my keys. house, pool, apartment, door, and gym scanning pass thing.

i was bored, idk why i took a pic, but w/e....:

lol.....im up late studying for my mcat, which is next month, and i didnt feel like clearing off my desk. ochem is a blast, aint it?

I have a small vial and a small cylindrical rod attached to mine. Works perfect, no need for further MB on the keys, although I do wish there was some sort of AMG that could go on there.

at mercedes you can order 2 kinds, i have both... since the car has 2 keys


first is one with leather ( to order at mb dealership: B66037327 )



it costs about 50 $ or less

and the other one, silver amg logo ( to order: B66957154)



it about the same price as the other, only it won't be available for long time, they stopped producing these and are selling what's left of their stock ...

Just go down to the dealer it shouldn't cost more than $20 that chrome AMG key chain is way too long though and its just awkward.

I like this one...why not just get it from this person?

I'm actually seeing a couple on eBay I wouldn't mind having.

JonMBZ

This is actually pretty nice I might grab one

OT: MCAT studying ftw. Not. Studying things I've already learned is quite difficult; I feel like there is no need to focus...

To OP: Congrats on the C55! Looks really clean

Kompressor21

These are my keys..
At work and very bored lol

I think my chrome key is good enough for something classy. My l.a fitness card on my keys isn't that classy though lol.

walee112

I like this one i think i might try giving MB a call :P the silver one is all over ebay but the downside is that its 4" long! try having that in your pocket..

walee112

i also found this on ebay if anyone else might be interested... but as for me i still havnt come to any decisions. anyone else have any cool keychains?

the leather one is about the same lenght as the silver one... but easier in the pocket

Anyone else hate having anything at all on their keys? I wont even put my LA Fitness card(seen above) on it!

cannonball55

same here, my house keys are on their own key ring, and the benz key chills by itsself... i hate having stuff hang down and tickle my knee while i'm driving... its weird almost like having a fly in the car and not being able to get it out.

Saw it on "clearance" at a dealership while I was picking up some coolant. Can't remember exactly how much it was, but somewhere under $20 after tax. The two little buttons have stubs that go into the main rectangular part and have the key rings on the outside. The overall look is simple but attractive - very German, think Heidi Klum

The construction is VERY solid and I'm not sure but I think that it'd be near indestructible, short of melting it. It's deceivingly hefty, but I regularly run with it in my shorts pocket without a problem.

Anyway, I've seen it at a different MB dealership since, MB of Hoffman Estates, if you're interested.

it's the weight that bothers me

i have the all-plastic keyless go smart key, and it's fairly light considering its size. I've seen the chromed upgrade and I have no idea why anyone would want to have that in their pocket. I've seen "chicks dig it" as a reason (i guess because it's shiny?), but I can state without qualification that I am not interested in a "chick" that is impressed by a car key.




i want one that's impressed by the damn car!
