Where to source and code new key? Who makes the best OEM replica 4 button?
Hi all, who or where is the best place to get a new "4 button" replica OEM key cut and programmed for my 98' R129? I'm based in San Francisco but am open to shipping my key if it is a trusted service provider others can vouch for, as I believe to program a new key to these cars an original is needed? Also wondering what others have paid in the past for this service or similar.
My 98' R129's original key is starting to fall apart. Before I end up with a nightmare like the blade getting stuck in the ignition cylinder I'd like to get a new key cut and programmed to the car.
Based on my research, it seems like its next to impossible to get an OEM original "4 button" key from the dealer unless you get really lucky somehow. Does anyone have suggestions/good experiences with aftermarket replica OEM keys I can buy, and/or who to go to to get one programmed? Thanks in advance!
