I ordered a non-chrome keyless go key just a few weeks ago. It was supposed to be fully programmed from the dealer, however the keyless go part did not function. I have a star system, I checked and the new key needed to be assigned to channel 1 (my other working key was on channel 2). I made the changes and the keyless function immediately worked properly. My dealer (MB Nottingham) seemed to have no understanding of the channel allocations..... However it was only a five minute job to get it working!
I can't see how a new key from the dealer can ever work on keyless go without coding to channel 1 or 2....... The original keys supplied with the car from new have these channels allocated and at least one of them needs to be 'removed' in order for the new key to work properly (ie keyless functions). These changes are made on the car rather than the new key......

or your dealer either is incompetent, or has lifted your leg, or has screwed up something and can't/doesn't know how to unscrew it, and is now telling you fibs in the hope you will go away.
Chat with the service manager time, perhaps?
I have just emailed MB asking them to clarify the situation.
It is MB Taunton.
I will contact them and ask to speak to the dealer principle on Monday.

Finally got a reply from MB head office.
Their technical department have confirmed that they no longer supply the plastic keyless go keys.
So I have a nice chrome key that is not keyless go and a plastic one that is.
