Keep one issue on a same topic, don't make multiple posts as it's just harder to keep track on what's already done to the issue. I read this topic and was like "hey, someone just had a same problem. *scroll down... No, it's the same person.

It's either an EIS problem with the ignition system or a key problem. Try the second key. If you have the same issue, it's EIS, if it works, it's the key. If you don't have a second key, standard MB diagnostic is to order the 2nd key. It'd be a waste to take the EIS out and send it out to be rebuilt just for it to turn out to be a bad key. You could call around to different locksmiths for a key price. Some are cheaper than the MB dealer, some actually charge more.
