Not that expensive, I own a shop and located a module for a good $$$. At this point it is not a high priority repair.

GL 450
Hello my fellow Benz riders I am having an issue with my GL450 2007 key fob it will not turn I changed the batteries as to no avail..... So is there a way to turn the ignition w/o the key fob I know it may sound dumb but I am finished with putting more and more money at this SUV. I love it but I am exhausted.. My first year I had tranny problems and engine problems lucky I had an extended warranty the came the airmatic system and now this I am finished done over.. Thanks a million
