2006 cls55 no blade key and dead battery

Haven't driven my car in 6 months or so and to my suprise my battery is dead. I do not have the blade key. What's the best way to get into my car other then calling AAA? Thanks for any help in advance.

I don't know how accessible everything is on your car but I would try and jack up the car, remove the under body/engine cover and see if you can connect a battery charger to either your alternator or starter battery connections. After you charge it up for a bit you should be able to unlock your door.

The only problem is that my car is lowered and where it's parked it will be next to impossible to get a jack underneath. I've slim jim other cars I just thought there might be a trick to this one.

There's nothing to "slim jim" on Mercedes. There is only a cable that goes from the interior handle to the door lock actuator and is all on the interior side of the door until right at the lock which has a cover over the cable anyhow.
Your only other hope is to wedge the door open and fish for the interior handle then to open it from inside.

Also the door lock button you can't get to....on a different model MB there's a plastic cover that blocks this keeping water off the lock and would think it's similar for all models.
If you do a search for a door lock actuator for your car you will see how it's made with the cables, rod and wires attached.

I guess I'm better off calling AAA and having them handle it. I originally thought it was my remote battery but after getting a new one still nothing. Thanks for all the help.
