Re: [MBZ] Spare Key for 2004 Mercedes E320
... So why can't the keys be reprogrammed? Seems like you could replace a ROM if you had a programmer? Do they really provide an extra $500 of security to a vehicle?

Google 'mercedes key programming software'. If you have one original key, you can get the code (SKC) than find a e-bay virgin key.

Re: [MBZ] Spare Key for 2004 Mercedes E320
In a nutshell, no. Keys, along with other such safety items, are dealer only, as far as I know. MB has really tightened up on this and makes it pretty near impossible to something like a key from anyone but them.
