Apparently the company that made the chips or whatever went out of business or something so it is difficult to get the keys made. Sounds shady to me but that’s their story --FT Sent from iPhone > On Feb 11, 2021, at 9:35 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > This is ridiculous. This

This is ridiculous. This is a vehicle that was produced in mass quantity from 98-05 and you can’t get a damn key for it. Unbelievable. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 11, 2021, at 7:46 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > Jaime might have an update, but the last time I asked it was hit or

Any dealer will know. If they don’t, and I would find that unusual as this has been an ongoing issue for some time, just tell them to check the “PAC Key Chart” and they’ll be able to figure it out. -D > On Feb 11, 2021, at 8:48 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > Try the classic center. Tom Hans

Seems I have heard they are not. The ML was supposed to be going out to Texas and it ended up not happening so I unloaded it before leaving Saturday. I remember that did not take the key back into the house and I seem to recall having having it with me. I can’t remember if I had it in my pocket
