Ok. Here's how it goes. You go to the Mercedes dealership and provide proof that you own the car. Have the vin and they'll make your key(s). Haven't found out the cost.
The story goes something like this. Criminals had someone that would make keys and they would steal the cars. All they needed was the vin. The police eventually caught on and arrested the culprits. So Mercedes now won't make a key unless the car is owned by the person asking for a duplicate and can provide proof.
Personally I wouldn't show up at the dealership until I got the lay of the land meaning find out if the dealership has the ability, key blank, and someone who knows how to make the replacement.
Just in case anyone else needs a spare key.
