Cost of replacement Key-less go card
Bought a 2003 SL500 with the Key-Less Go option, but there were no cards with the car. Has anyone bought a replacement Key-Less Go card from the dealer? About how much did it cost?

As I see you are in maryland - if you decide to replace yours, let me know where you had it done and the cost. My car came with only a single keyless go card which eventually failed completely, euro motorcars in Germantown phone quoted me nearly $400 for a replacement and they were 'unsure' if it will still need a labor charge for programming afterwards so I passed. As the cards come programmed to the vehicle/vin the dealer 'programming' at this point may just be leaving the card on the seat for an hour for it to recognize which I read in some other threads.
The newer style keyless go smart keys won't work with our system, but I've read conflicting answers about whether the 2004-2006? version key w/ integrated keyless go can be programmed to our 2003 keyless go systems (these keys can be programmed for the ignition switch, though)
