I Want New Chrome Key Fob - Where To Buy?

The car I might be purchasing has the very old school key fob. I don't like it at all and wanted to see where can I get my key other than the dealer? This car has Keyless go so It has to be able to perform the tasks as such (Open Doors by door handle click, Push Start etc..) Let me know guys! How are the prices these days, i found many threads, but they are all dated in 07 and the 09 ones didn't have much Info.

As far as I know dealer is the only place to do it-and you have to have proof of ownership to order the key....it comes preprogrammed for the doors and ignition, and you have to have the dealer (or someone with STAR) pair the keyless with the ECM...if I recall you can only have 3 keys paired to the Keyless go....good luck, the ~$180-200 I spent on mine is worth it every day!

On a side note, "old-school" M-B Key Fob FTW. Leaner and lighter than the new ones, and the materials seem better, i.e it doesn't seem as prone to cracking, and EVERY newer M-B I drive always has the Star on the key starting to bronze. I also like how the Star on the older key is in its own side, without the buttons ruining it all.

Carry on.

Did you buy the car or did you not get offered enough on the trade in?

You care if you are trying to sit a key chain up on the bar to look cool for the ladies. Lets be real here M3 ADDICT, it will go a long way if you are just honest in admitting you are a broke *** poser who can't afford the car. Would you like to know where to get an AMG jacket that says 1 of 1 so you can tell them hunnies all about how you are in a very exclusive club of rare top of the line AMG owners?

Actually,
Since you're not actually getting a key that will be programmed to a car, just buy one on EBay. They all look the same when you're pretending to own an AMG.

Hopefully it takes more than this to look cool to any lady... Oh wait, you said at a bar... That says it all...

haters crazy
I'm afraid his parents may have finally bought him a car

After all the bashing he has done on E55's, I bet he shows up in one.

I think replacements at the dealer all come in the chromed design only, even for '03. Give your local dealer a call to confirm.

I bought a new key for my 2000 CLK about 2 years ago & it was the new style.

Anyone have a pic of the '07 Chrome Key, and the '10 Chrome Key? I've heard they're different.

the dealer is the only place to get them-there use to be another dealer but they went out of business
