Day 1 : Announcement
Day 5 : The Ride
Day 8 : The Big Problem
Day 14 : The Big Plan
Day 15 : Parts Arrival - Key Blade
Mercedes Benz Key blade is actually a spare key that is used for opening door, glove box and rear boot in-case the remote controller key is not working. The key blade cannot be used to start the car.
Here is the full story why I decided to get a key blade. In 2004, both the original remote controller keys(right) that came with the car had decided to malfunction, so we have to order another replacement controller key(left) from Jati Transport(Mercedes-Benz Dealer). Our car was left in Jati Transport workshop for a month while we wait for the replacement key from Germany. The replacement key need to be programmed in order to work on our W210.
When the remote controller key finally arrived, I was told it doesn't come with a freaking KEY BLADE as we didn't request it. I was so damn furious!!! Firstly, nobody mentioned to me that both items were sold seperately!!! Secondly, the bloody replacement key controller cost over $400.00!!! Oh, did I mention the key blade from Mercedes Benz in Germany will set me back another $150.00 as it required laser cut to my car model ID. My parent decided to just screwed the whole drama crap and used the original remote controller key blade as spare.
So now Project:W210 is a go, I decided to browse the web for some parts and came across a company that actually sell blank key blade for Mercedes Benz! Immediately I contacted the store and had one shipped to me. The key cost $9.00 and shipping was $5.00. Total it cost only $14.00 for the key blade. Of course the draw back is the key is a blank key blade but at least now I have a hole to hang something on the key controller!
