Mercedes Remote Key Fob(Chrome Version)
I have a W221 key with a broken button(see picture below) and i am thinking of swapping it with a new shell that i found from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Smart...ht_2181wt_1165
Let me describe a bit of my key. My 2007 W221 key does not have panic button. However, what they sold on ebay is all with panic button. Will it fit? i understand if it fits, the panic button will be useless and i can take it. but i need all three other buttons to be at work.
Also, do you guys know if there's a manual book on how to swap from old key to new shell key? I totally have no idea on how to swap the old shell to new one.
Please help.
Thank you in advance

I have seen many picture of people swapping from old key to chrome version. My case is, i want to swap from chrome version to chrome version(same).i am no technician or electrician. So, i dont know how to solder anything. do i need any soldering if mine is already chrome version swapping to another chrome version? do you have any detail guide to it?
Also, my key is without panic button. will it fit to the one with panic button(although i know the panic button would be useless since mine does not have panic button in the first place)?
Please help.
thanks in advance

Chrome to chrome is a 30 second swap. I have never seen a key with no panic button but if you post a picture I could probably tell. Worst case scenario you can just sell the other case.

Here is a link to replacements. I haven't tried them myself, just thought it might help.
This link is just the cases.
This link is for the 3-button case, no Panic button.
Put Mercedes in the search on the site to see other items.

RE: key shell replacement
Just an update to this thread, i purchased a "new" used remote from ebay and changed mine over.
It takes about 1 minute to do, i took the ebay remote apart first so i did not break mine as all i needed was the shell.
You will need some needle nose pliers to remove the circuit board from the remote, take great care in doing this!
Everything comes out on the circuit board and you are left with an empty shell.
I will try and post some pictures asap to help others.

Do you have Keyless Go?
If yes, pull the infrared "plug" from the ignition and insert your regular key. Try starting.
If no keyless, when did you last change the two batteries in the key fob?
Just a couple thoughts. Good luck
