Lost key help

Hey All;

So I lost a key set, that included a key fob for our 2007 E63. Dealer wants 650 bucks for a replacement. Is there a more affordable alternative?

I think the dealer can reprogram keys so maybe if you bought a used one off ebay then had them reprogram it then it would be cheaper. I'm not really sure though.

Not for Mercedes, no reprogramming used keys. You can also check some locksmith. I think depending on the year, they can program them. Only way to get them cheaper is to call around to various dealers and see what they charge. They like to sneak in a programming charge which is basically putting the key in the ignition and turning it on. If you call parts, they should just be able to order the key for you. If the one you call is far away, see if the local dealer will price match.

I suggest getting something like Tile for $20 for the next time so it doesn't get lost.

I ordered a new key years ago, and the price was around $250, and it came pre-programmed. Listen to what, has already been said shop around, call different dealerships.
If you live in a metropolitan area, I would start searching outside of that area, within a 2 hour radius to get a better price.

Was your key a regular key or a keyless go one? The keyless go keys are more money, typically in the $500 range which is why I think the dealer might have slipped in a programming charge. But the price of the key might have gone up recently too as it's been in the $500 range for a while.

My replace key was keyless go for my E63. And like I said it has been a few years since I purchased this key. And it did come programmed for my AMG.
But if you search outside of your metropolitan area, the prices should be cheaper.
