This has been discussed many times before. The only way that you are going to get a new key is through a dealer. You can not buy a key and have it programmed. MB has quite a corner on these new keys and will set you back around $250 minimum.

In the U.S. you have to purchase a key through a dealer or from an independent who will purchase through a dealer. Need registration and valid ID, and $250, bureaucracy gotta love it!!
