New Key Style Smartkey...... Do they fit?
I wonder, Can I use this smartkey on my W210?
I have the smartkey as well.
Anyone care to share their experiences?

Hrm, my keys are without the panic button and also a tad longer. Do you think they still work! Btw Good Job Zam! I might want to custom another headlight for another car, do you think you have time for another Retro?

So I just need to walk to a dealer with the part number right?
How about programming it to work on the car?

at least one report of frequency differential used by Smartkey for cars sold in US
vs other (or just Europe). so be sure you purchase the properly configured key
for your car.

Zam is it the same part number as the c class.
What did you do to the new key? Any programming needed?
I tried the shorter key but it doesnt turn!

Did you order a NEW "short" key ? if so, put it in the ignition key for 12 hours, it'll learn & self program itself, then you can turn & start the engine.
If it's a used key (already used on other car), there's no chance.

Yes, it's the same part number among all Mercedes using smartkey.

all you have to do is insert key in ignition and leave it there for about 20-30 secs, then turn and start car

I ordered one too but I didn't even have to do this, it was ready to use immediately. No instructions came with it, so if I had to do what Eurosport is saying, I would have become frustrated very quickly.

yes oempartsdirect.com is legit.. i order my key for $118 ($114 for smart key and $4 for the blade key)with $10 shipping.. to california.. total of $128... once you place the order.. fill in the application, part number, whatever... and email...
next.. they'll send you a confirmation on your order, then a seperate email for you to FAX in or EMAIL a copy of your registration and driver's license making sure the license matches up with registration to the CAR.... (i know it sounds fishy, but i assure you guys its safe..) then when that is complete.. wait a couple days they'll send you a tracking from FED EX...
when the key arrives, its already PROGRAMMED!!! thats why they need your Vin # , its in their system, it doesn't MATTER what car you have.. , they'll know by the VIN.. then FAX the registration corresponding to vin, to assure that its going to the owner.. thats all....
DO NOT BUY ANY KEYS SOLD ON EBAY!!! BENZ DEALER WILL NOT RE-PROGRAM iT!!!
yes, i love this key!!! if some of you guys have it... you guys know how AWESOME it is....
ohh i forgot to mention you can check your status after you place your order.. so no worry guys

update on the new style key
it is now the only option for keys
you can not go and order the old style keys
so do not worry about the part number
just go to the dealer and give them your VIN nimber and they will order the new style key for you
also i did get 4 of these keys back in January and February from OEM parts direct with no problem
awesome key

Out of curiosity. My dealer told me that Benz may have up to 8 keys. So if you order a new key, does it count?
