Only way you can order a key is with proof of ownership right? You'll need the manual key eventually, might as well get on order.

If your battery is dead, then you should have an auxilary cable under the passenger floor board to hook cables to.

Yes thanks, you are right,I got a 2002 500 R230 too,so I know this but the problem was I got only the plastic key until today, I did find the metal key in the inside pocket of the door so I did open the trunk and the battery charger is on now,the car had a bad owner so key card and the most is away,and I do NOT get the glove compartment to open? The roof is dead?(Got a extra battery connected)
