chrome key fob question

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.

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..

Heres exactly how you can order it from OEMPARTSDIRECT: Courtesy of Ashutt

I just finished the purchase process:
(1) Go to: http://www.oempartsdirect.com/index.php
(2) Find Section 2 entitled, "Search by Factory Part Number"; then
(3) Under this section, click on the button called "Multiple Part Number Search"
(4) On line 1, enter part #2117663606 for the KEY STANDARD and select Mercedes-Benz.
(5) On line 2, enter part #2037665006 for the BLADE SMART Key and select Mercedes-Benz.
(6) Hit the "Get Parts" button.
(7) Hit "Add to Cart" button.
(8) Hit "Check-Out" button and then fill out billing and shipping information. Note that in the final process you will have to enter the VIN.
(9) Cost was $61.58 shipped ground. You can pay for faster shipping.
(10) You will receive an "Order Comment" email from Jaimie Pickard requesting a copy via email or fax (540-777-3034) of your registration and driver's license. I scanned and emailed them back to Jamie- Jamie.pickard@hammersley.com.
