Hi,
Did Mercedes quote the price from your chassis number as i think he has quoted you for the later key your key is less than £100.
I,m very sceptical that this locksmith can do what he says he can with your flip out key as i believed the alarms fitted were anti-scan, anti-grab proof as part of Thatcham certification. I hope that i,m wrong and you get your key sorted would interested to know the result.

Your locksmith may be able to do the key blade, but not the remote part
