Mercedes branded key fobs

[ddentrec]

1. MB 'star' keyfob supplied with car when new: fell to bits within 5 months.

2. Replaced with another form the 'MB Collection': 'star' fell off within 8 months (metal fatigue? ).

3. Bought another from MB Museuem Stuttgart a few weeks ago...guess what - the 'star' on that one worked loose and fell off too!

Am I alone???

Am now using an (old) VW keyfob I have had for years....

The star fell off one of mine too. Luckily I spotted it and was able to fix it. Blob of supa glue and it hasn't moved since

Me too, both my keys have self destructed.

Maybe the car will follow suite.

Mine have all been great! What do you do with your keys?!

I generally use mine for locking and unlocking the car - not much good for anything else. I did try to get it to take the dogs for a walk, but it said "no" "cough"

The actual key blade makes an effective screwdriver though it has to be said

I dont have the 'Bling' version on my 99 model, yours is a 98 isnt it? - have you had replacement keys? or is there still a star (non chome) visible when they fall off?

Mine are both the chrome star ones, one is a replacement which I hardly use and one is the original AFAIK, I've had the car for 4 years.
