W205 key replacement

[Lewismoyn]

Looking at getting a spare key cut for my w205 2016 c220d. I'm under the impression the w205 is a dealer only key? How much would I be looking for the key replacement from a dealership or does anybody know of any key replacement places that can do my key.
I'm located in Birmingham.

Yes dealer only, approx £265 and a lot of paperwork

What you mean a lot of paperwork mate?

V5, utility bill, drivers license, passport, few others possibly - all to prove it is your car you’re getting the key for

Some auto locksmiths may be able to clone your original key for a lot less.

Give them a ring and see what they say.

Not for a W205 unfortunately.

That's a pain.

We have an auto locksmith just down the road from the yard and I was going to get an extra for mine to leave at work.

The dealer can still supply them

We can make and supply (in house) most keys up to 2015.

Didn't really want to pay £250 for a spare though.

I would be happy; dealer wants 500€ new key for my old crap W220...
