Arrow New Keys

Hey guys, this might be a silly question, but I am rather curious.

I parked in a garage in NYC the other day, and I think I saw a Mercedes key, but it could have been a different brand. It was shaped like the SmartKeys, but it had chrome trim on the side panels of it. Really cool looking. It could have been a Maybach key too... not sure.

Anyway, maybe some one will know what that key is for.

I am curious... what do the keys to the W221 look like? Picture Please!

Ah nice... anyone have a picture?

Can you get those new SmartKeys to work with a W220?

I don't think so...it is heavier and larger than the Smart Key for the S430.

I doubt that will be possible...also, the cost will be a couple of $100 bucks if they can do it (or more.)

I started a post about this a while back:

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/116081-new-key-style-my-c-class.html

The short form is that you can get the new key for the older car.
