G63 spare key availability?

I've had a lot of Mercedes' over the years, but most, if not all, came with 2 keys.

Just bought an '18 G63, Alien Green Edition that only came with 1 key.

I'd like a spare key, but it drives me crazy to pay upwards of $1,000 between the fob, blade and programming.

I understand I'll probably need to pay for the blade ($99) and the programming ($150-$200), but is there a way to get a used fob that will be able to be programmed by the dealer?

No, fob's can't be reprogrammed.

So you're telling me that all the used OEM keys being offered on Ebay CANNOT be reprogrammed and are virtually worthless?
