2003-2006 is upper right, Keyless go for 2003 only had the credit card key, I believe. the lower right is 2007 and newer but if you order a new key you get the lower right one.

they integrated the feature into the smart Key. 2003 W211 and 2003 and earlier SL and S came with 2 smart keys and 1 keyless go credit card key. I think they discontinued because people were putting in wallet and breaking them when they sat on them.

you are right the new ones are slightly different panic button is a triangle and each button has its own cover rather than the single flexible plastic cover that always breaks on all the other keys.

Just looked up what you are talking about. Think I am going to have to order it up. Yeah it was cut and coded at MB warehouse in Jacksonville. Then sent to dealer.

Yeah that's how you do it. Go to the dealer and order the key. It will come to the dealer coded already. It's a TRP item so go prepared with all your documents that it's your car. And they need to see the car present to verify the VIN before releasing the remote.

I have done a few as freebies for members here and on other forum.
Still at 100% success rate. Has to be NON-keyless Go.
I'm doing them for free as long as you provide the keys and postage.

'05s shipped with top right.
Someone probably ordered an extra key after 2006 or 2007 and got the Chrome one.
They keys they ship now look like the Chrome one in the pic, but have triangular Panic button. The 2 different Chrome ones look similar but First Chrome ones actually have more in common with the Black key (2nd ver of Smart key)
The black and Chrome keys in the image I posted have same functions, and use identical EPROM chip, this is why the black one can be upgraded to the Chrome one.
