I agree, if the car will only accept the signals from six (?) keys then it must be able to recognize a code from each of the keys or it would not be able to tell one key from another and a million or more keys would be able to work.

As MrM says disconnect the battery and wait, then try again.
A new key from NeedsWings might prove that one or both the keys you have are no good. This might be a cheap option to learn something or a waste of $150, your choice.

The OP had his SKREEM module and the transponder around the ignition switch replaced, or so they say. The SKREEM would have to be programmed to his VIN or it would not work. Was this done or done correctly.
The shop was supposedly knowledgeable in Mercedes cars, was it capable of correctly doing any program changes to the Crossfire, I doubt it.
The VIN programming supposedly can only be done by certain vendors for security reasons.
The mechanic who did the original job should be back from his two week vacation now, go see him and get some explanations See if the SKREEM was programmed by a third party.
Do you have the original keys,was one swapped in error somewhere?
Is it possible that a used and damaged SKREEM with one key was used instead of a new SKREEM matched to your VIN? But they only had one key right?
