Have you considered picking one up from a junk yard? I think as long as it's from the same year it doesn't have to be programmed.

No didn't consider junk yard would prefer a new one or at least a remanufactured one so I wouldnt end up in the same situation again. Any advice and suggestions are appreciated. Also if you know of any online sites I can order from that may have the part please let me know

They usually go bad because the TCU gets contaminated with transmission oil due to a leaky connector seal plug at the transmission. TCU goes into lock mode to avoid further damage.
Replace the plug, take out the TCU and clean it with electrical cleaner. Let it dry, and do a SDS reset on the TCU. It MIGHT work, it worked for me. Alot cheaper than getting a new TCU and getting it programmed.

pretty much you're screwed because anybody that wants to buy a transmission control module is going to have to get it from the dealership you can't just buy anyone that has to be coded to your VIN of your car and they won't sell it just to you it has to be a certified Mercedes-Benz mechanic
