Try sending a message thru the website. I felt the EXACT same way as you did. I got an email this past Friday from Jamie saying it was shipped out with a FedEx tracking number attached. Scheduled delivery was for tomorrow but I got it today.

Like some of the others said just have a tad more patience, it'll get to you. I know how you feel though; you order something and want to get it three hours later

Got it today, its PPPPPHHHHAAAAATTTTT!!!!!!!!

I got an email today saying that it is on the way!!!

Looks like they (oempartsdirect) finally figured out what is going on. They just jacked the price of the key up $60. It's now $114.00. I hope everybody who checked out this thread ordered their keys early. I figured it wouldn't take long before they figured out something was going on. So, for everyone who got their keys......awesome. For those who didn't.....You snooze you lose.

114 bucks Good thing I got mine when I did.

This was a REAL good post. AMGEEZY.....

Got mine today, works perfectly!!!! Thanks AMGEEZY!!!

I received my key last night. Brings a big smile to my face. Unfortunately I immediately gave it the the tire shop so they could install my 19" rims and and new Eagle F1 Ds-D3 tires. Didn't even look at it more than 30 seconds (The rims and key came on the same day).

My question is, I inserted the mechanical key and then noticed that I need or needed to insert the very small plastic release button for the mechanical key. Can this still be done and if so- how? It didn't come with any instruction. Thanks in advance for anyone that knows.

It real easy. it just pops in. DOn't make it harder then it is. It takes 2 seconds.

I had to go in for a "Service B" today and when I handed the service guy the key he said "how did this happen"? I told him that I ordered it online and whatnot and he was sorta shocked. He said that a lot of people have been asking about the new key but their parts department couldn't order it. I told him that it would be done, he lost interest in the conversation...lol!

I just tried to order the key form oempartsdirect.com and they quote me
$114. I used the correct numbers. What's up?

yep! the jack asses just went up onthe price.114.00

Yeah they did go up on the price but he is offering 25% off all products to mbworld members the checkout code is in the group buy forum I believe. I know its not much but at least its something and probably better than what the dealership will offer. (its much less of a hassle getting it from OEMparts than it is at the dealership if you dont have an 07 model, something to consider.)

Dammit! Thats what happens when you slack, I should've jumped on it earlier. I like the chrome key but dont really have a problem with the "regular" key

But the chrome key adds 15 hp!! Didn't you know?

Just FYI -- i entered these steps and they now charge $140 for the key. Not terrible if you really want it, and b/c it's still cheaper than from the dealership, but just FYI. Wonder why they bumped it up. probably cuz we were all buying it!!

I have a loaner C2804M right now and it has the chrome key. I found it to be really heavy and the buttons are not that convenient.

i have keyless go but it doesn't work with this new CHROME key i ordered................

Does this method works for Canadian Benz VIN? or are they the same? Thanks

Does this sound right?

The price of the key is $114.80 I just checked 5 minutes ago. Better jump on it, before they raise the price again.

every dealership is going to charge you a different amount.

I'm talking about on Oem Parts Direct dot com. I'm the one who started this thread to begin with. Only go to the dealership if you want to waste extra money. Thanks for chiming in.

well i went to a dealership and paid less than most people on this forum, less than your number of $100+ so im not sure what you mean by waisting money

I paid $69.00 for my key at the deaership. But the prices have been raised,read he whole post before you chime in, start from the beginning. You definately didn't get your key in the last month for under $100.00. People need to read!!!!!!!

i think you're the one who needs to read. my original post stated that going to the dealership might be cheaper than oemparts and you replied "only go to the dealer if you want to waist money" of which I replied "i went to my dealer and paid less than the website your quoting..."

So now tell me, what part of the thread should I have read that I didn't read?
