[W126 Coupe] do the ignition keys for these cars have to madeat the dealer or

[Jay Manek]

Over here in the UK any key cutter worth his soul can cut these keys... it just requires a machine that uses a fine drill rather than a disc blade to cut...

nevertheless, i got mine from the dealer at about £7 each ($14)


Many Thanks & Regards

  The old keys aren't actually laser cut.that's just propaganda.  Anyway, the prices are all over the board, from Shin's $17 to $100+.  They used to make them only in Germany, but they may have moved the machines over here now.



  My spare cost me $35 at the dealer.



  Regards,



  Edward

  Because it's laser-cut, most locksmiths can't make it. I just had mine made by a MBZ dealer. I needed to show the registration and a driver's license. It was made at a central location in Texas and took two days and it was expensive $17
