Hi im going on holiday soon and i want to get a second remote key/fob for my s211.

Ive read somewhere that if i order a new key the old key get deleted!

Is this the case?

My current fob is working id just like a spare in case i loose or damage it.

Do i need to buy 2 keys? or can i just get a second key?

Any help much apreciated:dk:
 
Your current key can only be blocked if the car is connected to a star machine.
Despite some rumours, keys can be unblocked by using a star machine and a workshop "green" key.

You can order a second key from the dealer for £230 inc. VAT which will come pre programmed and will not need the car to be connected to star.
 
Thanks for the helps peeps will be getting one from Mb soon :)
 
You will need the V5 and proof of ID (Passport / Drivers Licence) and possibly a Utility Bill (proof of address) when ordering. Takes about 5 - 8 working days to arrive at dealers. Comes complete with a new metal key.

In the past they have taken this sort of time, last one I ordered on Thursday and collected on Tuesday after the last bank holiday Monday. Was very surprised.
