Keyless-Go Card Smashed...

Dreading calling the dealer... what can I expect along the cost of a replacement card?

Thanks!

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Whats a keyless go card? All the benzes I have ever seen simply require the key to be present in vehicle (such as in your pocket) in order to start and run??

mine cost $195 at dealer

Just got a new one. Would guesstimate around $200. Have to have all the papers sales bill etc to prove you are not trying to jack the car.

some mercedes vehicles had a "smart" card, instead of (or maybe in addition) to the smart key. the card is the size of a credit card and works just as any keyless go transmitter would.

I have two brand new ones that were given to me as replacements. They are still in the wrappers. Can they be programmed to work with your car? I will sell them for $95 each.

PM me if you are interested.

Thanks.

Prior to '04, the keyless go option included a credit card sized device that is kept in your wallet. You don't need to have a key.

The change to the smart key happened sometime in '04, as I just tuned an '04 SL55 and it had the smart key, rather than the card,

I have no idea. You will have to call your local dealer to find out.

I've had an 05 S class and now an 07 SL and both came with the key only. The card thing, I thought, was discontinued quite a while back.
