I've got one with my old BMW, and think it's a pretty good thing to have with our CLK remotes since the plastic buttons are prone to cracking after some time.

I just ordered one and thought to share it with you... maybe someone will find it handy as well

Btw I noticed that one of my keys is a bit bigger (like the one from the w208) is that the case with you all or just me? If so can it be changed to a new (chromed) remote like in the new E-class?

EDIT: Silly me, totally forgot to paste the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMG-LEATHER-...#ht_2143wt_905 sorry!

When I bought my my car it only came with one key, I bought a second at it is the chrome style. Still never used it yet

cavkic

Yeah, we like to keep those things new and shiny for as long as possible

How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking?

Kevwood

Way more than it cost State-side, everything in Dubai is price inflated. $700USD

What? Did I read it correctly? Seven Hundred US Dollars for a spare key?
Holy ****!

cavkic

Different standards bro...

Around my parts it's in the area of 150$.
In Germany, about 250miles from where i live it's from 200$

lazlion99

You should have bought a kevlar case for the key.

cavkic

Have a link?

Kevwood

2500AED = 681.19USD

That was before I was getting fantastic discounts here at MB but yeah, that was the 20% off list discount price.

cavkic

Small surprise, Dubai having one of the biggest standards in the world and all...

Any other tiny bits that make life easier? Suggestions are welcome

I use a BMW leather case of similar design to keep my chrome keys in as new condition.

Currently I'm using this one with my BMW key, it came with the car: http://www.eurotuner.com.my/Image/m37.jpg

This is the one I would go for. No metal parts to bang around & scratch things.

In my opinion, the chrome key is so good looking that it's a shame to hide it inside a holster.

cavkic

Good thinking, that thought didn't occur to me. Unfortunately, even this one has two metal parts (the button and the pin), even the hooks and rings form the other ones like the brown one are removeable. I have no intention of wearing all that metal in the same pocket as my phone.

If only I had a chrome key... Only the plastic old ones for now.

I'm thinking the AMG one for now... or maybe the cream one

For me, the chrome MB key is the nicest car key I have ever seen.
I have an old w209 that came with the plastic keys. Both went defective and were replaced by chrome keys under warranty.

cavkic

Fortunate mishap ^^

For me the nicest car key is Aston Martin's "emotion control unit"
