I think a dealer could do it for something like $350. Here is an option: https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...ml#post7235919

They cannot be reprogrammed. Dealers don't even program the new ones on these cars MBUSA does it and ships them to the dealer. Only thing you can do is buy a new key and it will come chrome since the black one is obsolete.

I believe that there are sme locksmiths who have purchased special equipment who CAN program keys.

Sadly, they charge what the market will bear, so similar to what a dealer charges. So for additional keys, may as well go to a dealer.If someone knows better, please post.

If you have a black key like that which isn't qworking right, it can be fixed.

If it isn't keyless go, it's "brain" can even be moved into a similar Chrome key. But it has to have a oval shaped Panic button.

The Triangle shaped ones can't be used this way, which explains why Ebay is full of them for $10/each while the Oval NKLG ones go for $60-100.
