Very cool key! I have a question, Does the remote have a key blade inside of it? Or is it separate? If there is could anyone post up how it looks? Does the key flip out? And does the window feature that rolls down/up the windows still work?
I have a 1997 C280, and I know this is in a W202 section but will it work with my car due to the year differences of the update W202s? (94-97)(98-00)
Will this blade P/N A2037665006 work for W202?

That sounds right - I ordered mine around 2-20-07 and paid $128 for the fob, blade and shipping. Awesome looking key and OEM shipped really quickly.

gang,
if you read the thread you will gather that OEMPartsDirect is an internet presence for Hammersley Mercedes in Virginia (they are a multibrand dealer).
Pick up the phone, talk to their parts department, and try to work through the issue.

chrome key
hey guys i can't believe these threads for the key are still going strong
i ordered one key from oem parts direct paid 61.41 including shipping back in january 5th and got it in exactly 10 days
orderd another one for another car on february 8 paid the same amount but i got itafter 1 month and did not work directly as the previous one
they have sent me a replacement key instead of additional
make sure you ask for additional key
they sent me another one to replace the one that came replacement, but they still ordered replacement so right now i am still waiting for the key to come in
i can't believe how the price went up
the list price is now 140 used to be 58
and oem wants 114.80 for it
so right now i have two keys that i can keep as spare if one of my keys brakes down as it is working for the car but has to be programed to replace one of the other keys
good luck

I believe OEM PARTS DIRECT is no longer available and it was a Dealer run site..regardless the price has gone up considerably...keep an eye out a new parts direct type of site may open up real soon.

Used keys can not be re-programmed, so don't waste your money. Only way is to order one directly from MB and have them program it to your VIN.
