The keys are very costly from MB. As they are the only place to get them I guess they can charge what they want. I was quoted even more than the price below when I checked on them. I'm going to go ahead and buy one because I think my key (not my battery) is going to die one of these days, plus I like the chrome one.

Many people have made the mistake of thinking they can get a key programed by buying one off ebay. Unfortunately this is not possible. The only benefit of buying a key off ebay is if your key is cracked or worn, as you can replace the inside with your workign key.

Actually, that cost is not so far out of line. We recently needed a replacement key for our Camry Hybrid and were quoted $175 since we were out of warranty on all but the emissions equipment and main battery bank. Best--Carl

Remeber thats UK prices they may be cheaper in the US. I know friends have had to change Volvo keys at £180. Remember its not a key its the whole coding circuit and they have to make the key for each request.

I am at the MBZ dealership now for a quick maintenance checkup and inquired. My service manager had mentioned before and just confirmed $270.USD for a key. The keys are in fact programmed and shipped from one place in Texas.
