Transponder/immobilizer

Yeah so o have a w210 e200 but the transponder is lost so of course the car wont start..so my question is:are there a way to start it?or do i have to get a new transponder or is there a way to get around it?

It’s a 1997 so it has the ”switchblade”key if that makes any difference🤦‍♂️

There are a couple of threads regarding "fob bypass" on the forums, particularly for the w202 and one other.
You'd have to search for them.

Here's another brief one on YT
