I only have 1 key for my benz and unfortunately it's starting to crack. I've called a bunch of lock smiths and they won't do it, called the dealer and it costs $80 bucks and it has to be shipped from Germany

Sounds like you need a new dealer. I got two new keys for my '93 400E for less then $50 total from Noble MB in Fredericksburg, VA.

Mine cost $40 from the dealership. They got it from a company in Chicago.

I saw a company online about a month ago that charged $29. I don't remember the company, and they wanted my drivers license number, so I opted out. I found out later that the dealer wanted the same info plus registration to prevent fraud.

Does anyone know if those newer style flip keys will work with our cars

Rio Z Lander

Where are you guys getting your keys from? My dealership wants to charge me $200 for one key!!! I'd love to buy one for $50 or $100. Please let me know where you're getting 'em from.

It depends who you talk to at the Stealership, I called again and they quoted me 30-40 bucks for the key

I got mine from Prestige Motors, Inc.

I call my dealer and I get a key the next day (by overnight fedex) for $40 total.
I've lost 2 keys down in the seat channel somewhere. They just disappear between the center console and the seat never to be seen again.
How hard is it to take a seat out anyway?

About $30. Had to get a new one just a couple of days ago.

If you have a key with the chip! you will pay the $200! A real ripoff!!!!

i have the same problem even with my 86..$85 from the dealership..

Ebay has the flip keys for around $35, but you'll obviously need to have them cut.

My dealership quoted me less than $20 to cut a key that I bring in.

$19 for my 95 E320. This was from the dealer five years ago.

It's easy to take the seat out: Move it all the way up and all the way back, then remove the two front bolts. Takes a 10 mm socket. Then move it all the way fwd and remove the two rear bolts. No need to disconnect the wiring - that's hard to do. just prop the seat up & find your keys
