A friend sold his car, and gave me one of the extra chrome keys he had for it. Is it possible to have this key reprogrammed for my car, or is it useless since its already programmed for his?

It can be reprogrammed..

Take it to your dealer and provide them with your: VIN# and Driver's License.. They will recode it to your car.

Gents: what do we have to do to get one of these very nice looking chrome FOB/transmitters for us with Keyless Go? Cant seem to get a solid answer. I called my dealer and they quoted me 252.00 but blanked the item # out. I called oempartsdirect and left VM but no return call. Anyone?? Joker

so that i'm clear, you're saying that used Smartkeys are reprogramable? this
flies in the face of quite a lot of posts to the contrary...posted by folks who
perform MB customization with STAR etc etc. can you verify?

Theres some on ebay for sale. Im now under the impression you would just have to take it to the dealer and get it reprogrammed. you would also need the new blade..
