Hello from Paris! And I have a key fob cover/casket question :)

Hi boys! I survived the snow (obviously) it wasn't as bad as peeps were saying because the roads were clear. So I trudged it out. I'll post pics when I am back home on my laptop. Anyhow I am currently in Paris and will be visiting laduree tomorrow morning. But on to my question... Out of separation anxiety I was playing with my spare key and noticed that my spare key doesn't have the AMG emblem thing on the back. So I was wondering if this is normal now for the spare keys to not have it and if not should I a) ask my dealer for it free of charge or b) just order from the parts department. Thanks in advance

Oh and on a side note, one more question... I dropped my car off a week ago in Munich and still no e-mail or update. I talked with another member and he said it took 30-45 days for him to get any word after his drop off. Is that about the same for everyone else? Just curious. Thanks again

So all is good then. Are you happy with your car so far?
I assume you are talking about laduree on champ Elysee avenue? You can eat there or just get a coffee/chocolate + snacks in the afternoon. So many sweet things over there too. You have to try those "macarons" if you haven't yet .
In regards to the key since i have an 09 i do not have the privilege of the emblem on the back cover. But yeah i read newer models get them.
Enjoy!

I was just wondering about your situation, yesterday. I'm glad it turned out okay. I guess there's a huge variance in interpretation for "snow" and "Alps". Anyway, you should have a tin that contains two battery covers. If not, you can go to a dealership and give them your VIN and they should give them to you. It shouldn't cost anything since you just bought yours brand new.

I had the same situation where I only received one cover in the tin can. I have asked for another one as I have been told that I should have gotten 2.
The dealer advised that it costs $200 as the emblem is made of silver. Not sure I believe the cost but cool thing to know.

I highly doubt it. It's most likely just a stamped piece of tin...mass produced in China or Taiwan for pennies a piece. So even $25 is a rip-off.
