Before someone starts leaving useless comments on doing a search first.
I already searched and couldn’t find anything helpful.

My car came with only one key when I purchased it used and having another one would be helpful in case one of my kids get their hand on the only key and misplaced it.

The question is.
Did anyone of you have to get an additional key (keyless go)?
If so what was the easiest and most cost efficient way?

Going to the dealer isn’t on option for me.

It's a theft deterrent device. 92% positive the FOB can only be married once AND that only the dealer can order new keys.

Haven't you seen Gone in 60 seconds? :p

^^ This

dealer is your only option.

sventastic82

So only 92% positive?

There got to be another way.

I had to get one for mine, Dealer is only option, they have to be coded from them. It was about $350 iirc.

They need vin, and owner on registration has to get the key.

I had to buy a second key from the dealer too and my dealer charged me around $450. (Mercedes of San Diego, bought the key in 2019)

^ it is the point of the special key. No other way unless you have a chop shop with Merc software and programmable keys specifically for that car.

Then I guess you're not getting a second key.

And your search effort was lame.

sventastic82

Well, I found another way which isn’t a dealership. Thanks for the outstanding suggestions.

Def interested in this, I need a second key as well. May you please share the other option you've found? Thanks!

Depends on key. I forgot he could be talking about the chauffeur key! I got my extra from Ace hardware for 3 bones.
