Mercedes Benz c220 - Car keys - jrw343
My wife recently had her 14 plate Mercedes stolen together with both sets of keys. Police have recovered the car which is locked,and we have been told the only way we can get another key is to return the car to MB who will order some but it will take 10 days, except that the car cannot be driven without keys ......

In there perhaps a car locksmith who could help us,or any other suggestion welcome as to how to get out of this seemingly impossible situation.

Thanks

Keys for these are only available from MB,and they will need programming to the car.No other option available unfortunately.

Won't your insurance company pay for the recovery to the MB dealer?

Indeed they will. I was just seeing if I could get it done in less that the 10 days they quote.

How did they steel the car with both sets of keys. Did they break into your home to get the keys. Suely the insurance comapny will provide a courtesy car. Regards Peter

Presumably the MB dealer is able to permanently lock out the missing keys when they program the new ones in?
