The only way is to go to the MB dealer. They keys on Ebay are of no use as they cannot be reprogrammed.

you might find it cheaper to get a credit card key, as a reserve. But only from MB

Just found 17 of these keys on ebay, 1 even bid up to £15. Make a small paperweight I suppose.
Maybe that should be a thread, "Uses for non working key fobs"
