Keyless Entry Remote Programming
I purchased a keyless entry button on EBAY last week (same part number as my broken one). Does anyone know how to reprogram it to work on my car or if it is even possible? Thanks Bob

Only your benz dealership can supply them.... at a cost. They get coded according to VIN. Just be thankful you are not in Australia, they are $460 here. (US$350). Don't ask how I know.

"To synchronize system, aim transmitter eye at vehicle door receiver or rear view mirror and briefly press transmit button twice. Within approx. 30 seconds insert key in steering lock and turn it to position 2."
