Purchase Process

I just finished the purchase process:
(1) Go to: http://www.oempartsdirect.com/index.php
(2) Find Section 2 entitled, "Search by Factory Part Number"; then
(3) Under this section, click on the button called "Multiple Part Number Search"
(4) On line 1, enter part #2117663606 for the KEY STANDARD and select Mercedes-Benz.
(5) On line 2, enter part #2037665006 for the BLADE SMART Key and select Mercedes-Benz.
(6) Hit the "Get Parts" button.
(7) Hit "Add to Cart" button.
(8) Hit "Check-Out" button and then fill out billing and shipping information. Note that in the final process you will have to enter the VIN.
(9) Cost was $61.58 shipped ground. You can pay for faster shipping.
(10) You will receive an "Order Comment" email from Jaimie Pickard requesting a copy via email or fax (540-777-3034) of your registration and driver's license. I scanned and emailed them back to Jamie- Jamie.pickard@hammersley.com.

Ok guys, I am interested in purchasing this key but I am little hesitant about the fact that the key will work, because I know for a fact that a key has to come directly from the manufacturer that has to program it, both smart blade and the key. The price sounds too good to be true because the key will be coming over from overseas. The first person to get the key besides AMGEEZY, please post some pictures and let me know if it works. Geezy no offense homs but I know how these things work sometimes. THX

You need to read the whole post. These keys come from a Mercedes dealer. Also check this thread. There is probably about 100 people who have gotten their key from them.

Are you serious???? Did you look at the thread with over 500 posts??? What does "I know how things work sometimes" mean??? If you knew how things worked, you would already have this key. I know how things work, and thats why I posted, to give everyone a chance to get the cool looking new key.

I am relaxed... I was just pointing out the fact that obviously I wasn't talking about Edmonton being overseas man And all asked for is a picture of the key when someone gets it and a comment from a person who is credible in my opinion. Where I come from if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. Aight?!

Well I just ordered it too. I'm assuming others will post before me but if you're looking for credible and no one responds before I get mine then I'll let you know.

What is really needed is the VIN number. There's a code associated with each key fob. This is how they match up the new key. When you send them the registration, this proves OWNERSHIP (in conjunction with a DL) and also has the VIN on it. I had my trunk lock switched and my mechanic explained this process to me. This goes for any key replacement. Mine only came with one key so this is great news. Thanks Geezy!

I hope it is the VIN number that is needed, how else will they be able to differentiate between say your and my key. Just makes no sense to me why MB would give an exclusive distribution to some of these sites which I understand a few might actually be registered as dealers... I've called my local dealership and the parts guy quoted me $269 for the part numbers that AMGeezy provided. Just don't see any logic behind their distribuion strategies? But I guess not everything has to make sense?

You see the problem when you called your dealership was...You asked them to look up a key for you. You went about it all wrong. You should call your parts guy and say "If I give you a part #, can you tell me how much it is??" Then he'll tell you $59.99. That is guaranteed. But the minute you tell him it's a key, he'll add the 9999 and the price jumps to $200.00. But as long as you just give him the part#'s I gave, the price is 59.99 guaranteed. Every Mercedes Parts Computer gives the same price. Then each individual store decides if they want to charge extra. But the minute you told him it was a key, he decided to screw you. Did you check the link I gave you from the w203 forum, there is at least 100 people who have ordered this key from oempartsdirect. I know when I got my key from my dealership, he told me that there were 72 in stock in Texas. But when he added 9999 to the end, he said there were over 2000. So if you snooze, you might lose. I've tried to help as much as possible. Good Luck to you.

AMGeezy if you read my last post one more time you'll find that I actually did ask him for the part numbers only. And I have checked the forum you gave me and I was wrong. There is a different dealership in my city...I am going to see what they have to say to me.

Thats a good price too. Anything under $100 is good for a key.
