Key question

Embarrassingly enough, I managed to lose the only set
Of keys I have for my C32. How would I go about getting a replacement, and would my losing my keys affect my ability to get a replacement set from MB?

If time isn't the biggest issue , you can buy the key off ebay for 40-50 bucks, then send it in to be programmed to your car. Bottom line is it's very expensive to replace a key (or almost anything for that matter) from the company.

From what I have read, there is no way around needing MB to program it so I assumed I would be paying a premium for it anyway.

Thanks! I will contact my local dealership right away, because unfortunately time is one of the biggest issues at hand.

You need to get the keys from MB ebay keys will not work. You do not need a key to obtain another key. Per MBUSA key policies the car needs to be seen by the dealer. So depending on the dealer you would either have to have the car towed to the dealer or they will need to dispatch roadside assistance to your residence. You need to call your local dealer to figure out their dealership policies.

They will need proof of ownership, and you will have to present an ID also
