Advice on remote key fobs please..1996 e320

[DennisHarvey]

Can anybody advise me whether i can use a second hand remote fob and just have it reprogrammed AND would the blade have to be completely replaced/reprogrammed also?

It's single button for a 1996 e320.

Quoted £194 by Mercedes Manchester Central. Which for me is exorbitant considering the car cost me £2300!

Afraid not, MB dealers are the only option. Dont be fooled by the eBay £20 jobbies aswell.

If I makes you feel any better, all Marques charge around the same amount for the keys.

Is that a transponder key? Theoretically at least there could be more options than current keys have.
