C43 gets AMG Key or not

Im wondering if C43 gets "AMG" key like C63/C63S? C450 got normal key though. But since C43 is officially in the AMG family...(I know a lot of you may disagree this belongs to AMG, but it's not what this thread is about, it's the KEY)

The "AMG KEY" is just a back plate that can be put on. so if it doesnt you can always add it.
my keys came with a box that had the regular backs in it.

You can just buy that back plate off eBay. I did, as my spare key didn't get the back plate, and since I have two Mercedes it's easier to identify which of the four keys goes to which car.

Interesting. My 2016 AMG C63S is barely a month old. I never heard of this AMG key thing, but am new to Mercedes. My sister has a C250 and there is no difference between her keys and mine so I guess I didnt get the AMG Key with my new car. Nothing says AMG, its all black panel. Oh well, I dont really care.

Your dealer should've given you a separate little tin box that had a key backplate that has the AMG Affalterbach logo. If they didn't, go back and ask for it.

Check under the trunk compartment. I was sad to see that my C63 non s did not have the backing until i found them in a tin box wrapped in plastic.

Mine was in the trunk compartment. I think that's where they're stored when MB ships vehicles. Either your dealer didn't know about it or they took them. Regardless, your car should've came with them and you should get them.

That's a little pricey. The real manufacturing cost over there is probably <$1.
