I'm not saying this against the OP at all and hope you get your key for 214$. In all honesty though since this whole screw job from Daimler, Chrysler or whoever it was I'd rather give my money to SOS or Rob at Needswings for their hard work and them actually caring about XF owners. Whoever it is to blame for the key and SKREEM fiasco doesn't deserve a damn thing from us. They basically said screw it, all the while rendering people carless for months with no solution and no help whatsoever. I've never heard of such a thing with a car that's not even 20 years old. Maybe a car that's 50 years old I could see but not this. It had to have came down to greed or ego over the old partnership, God knows it wasn't a match made in heaven and I could definitely see Daimler pulling some crap like this. Like I said this is not a knock or anything against the OP and appreciate his info, at least now we know whoever the culprit was pulled their head out of their a**. I never had the SKREEM problem but have seen countless people on the forum and Facebook completely helpless because this is their only car. Let's just hope this doesn't happen with any other integral parts for the car again. Okie Dokie rant over lol, everyone take care!!
