$ 200 for a duplicate key is a steep price to pay as quoted by the company,hence I am looking for some dealer who can supply a duplicate key at a reasonable price

If your car is a model with computer anti theft you can only get them from the dealer. They have to code them to your cars information. Its not like in the past where they just cut the key. Newer cars have built in processors that allow the car to start, or not, only with that key. Its a theft deterrent.

If you have a new-ish merc, it will have some heafty security built in. I dont think you will be able to get a key anywhere other than a mercedes dealer, due to the fact it will contain a chip. If you can drive a merc, surely you can manage 200.

only from Mercedes Benz if its a later model with infrared.
its a security key specific for your car and will have to be special ordered out of Germany. and Before you car get the key you have to prove that your are the registered owner of the vehicle so bring your registration with you to your local Merceds Benz dealer.

if there is a chip in it you have to go to the dealer. if not try an auto parts store. they may be able to help you for a cheaper price.
