Very sorry about your problem. But there is no way to hotwire a Mercedes.

this is one of the best posts I've ever seen on any car forum. My suggestion is that you just rent a car.

There appear to be several things wrong with this scenario, but I’m probably mistaken

Somehow, someway, you actually left your car keys so far away from the car that you had to order a new key from a dealer. You couldn’t have someone use UPS, FedEx, or “Joes Key Delivery Service” to overnight you “your key” for “your car”, you had to hand over several hundred dollars to a Mercedes-Benz dealer. Forget the fact that the dealer is going to want to see registration papers and a photo ID proving that you own the car, and that most people keep those registration papers locked in the car that you don't have a key for. I’ll just assume the car isn’t locked, you have the papers in hand, and you managed to drive to the dealer (without a car) and order the key. So far, so good, right? The problem is - the dealer won't supply a loaner, you need the car tomorrow AND you would like someone on a public forum to explain to you how to hotwire a Mercedes-Benz. And it's your first post.

Oh it's actually pretty easy.

You gotta take the 3 torx screws out from the driver side panel...the thing under the dash right by the steering wheel. You'll see a a thick red wire and another thick black wire. Cut both of them...and then wait the ten business days for your new keys.

Should this be going on the OWNED thread in the off-topic section?

Well, if you don't want to tell the guy how to hotwire a CLK, how about telling me how to disable the alarm on an E55 AMG?
