LOST KEY....PLEASE HELP!!!
Lost my key,
and from what i gathered there is no way going around paying $250-400. I live in the philadelphia area, I've saw a thread somewhere here from a guy that says he paid $150. I looked on ebay and people are selling cases.....I figured maybe then there is a cheaper way to buy a case and have somebody cut the key inside and program but I'm not sure. Can somebody help me out?

As far as I know you need to bring proof of ownership to a dealer and they'll order the key for you. It is programmed at a Mercedes facility and arrives fully functional.
No other way around this. Existing keys can not be programmed. There used to be a dealer that sold keys over the internet for about $125 but they're gone. Prices vary by dealer though so you could call a few and shop around.

I got a new key from the dealer all programmed and everything for just over $150. Its the new style too, all chrome and sleek looking. Call your local dealer(s) and see what they can do for you.
