I've been told that key FOBs for my 2002 sl600 are no longer available. I have only one and am wondering if these FOBs are truly unavailable what happens if someone looses their only FOB? Is there a source for another?

The person who told you that needs brain surgery---suggest you call MB USA!!

I wish that it were true that the parts clerk at MB of Seattle were indeed "brain dead" but this does not appear to be the case: This morning I called MB of San Diego and asked the helpful parts clerk there for a FOB for my car, after some checking he got back to tell me that they were NO LONGER AVAILABLE! He also suggested that I call MB of North America and lodge my complaint (which is what they do with all R129 customers who request such a FOB).

I told you about this situation many months ago. You didn't believe me then and don't believe this person? This was even discussed a couple months ago in the Mercedes Benz club of America magazine the Star.

You CAN NOT get keys from Mercedes for 1997-2002 r129 models (and a couple others).

I'll post the article later!

You have been denying this issue since September of last year. This is the January February issue of Star Magazine. The official magazine of Mercedes Benz enthusiests!! Maybe now you will stop denying the key issue for 1997-2002 R129 models?

It is a north America problem. Keys are available in some countries but would not work on our north America cars.

Waaaaaaw, really shame to hear that..,,

in this case; lost the key means, you will have to get new "ECU/EIS/ESL/Key",,

or car should be in famous magazine or NET for big sale..

There are "some" locksmiths around the country that can read the DAS and program a flat chipped key for about $350-500+. There is one or two in RI, Cobra Locksmith in New York, a couple in California?
