I would think that the programming is done by a computer and you will have to take them to the dealership. Why don't you try the buttons on them and see which one locks and unlocks? That should tell you which key works.

trying the buttons
all the keys function when the buttons are pressed and will start the car when inserted into the keyhole. the two new keys sent however have not been programmed to work as a keyless go system, unlike the first key thas was originally sent with the car. the question still remains, in order to use them as keyless, there is a way to program them, and i am looking for that answer......still.

It seems to me if the dealer only gave you one key and the car is equipped with KeyLess Go, then he is obligated to provide you a second key with the KeyLess Go function activated.

What I do know is there are outfits that claim to clone keys, including Lexus LS430 ones, but cannot turn out Mercedes keys.
I think most of us would have received 2 keyless go keys when we took delivery of our cars.
