No man up required from anybody just the ability to read your manual. There is a lot to be learned in these manuals, so get one from this site as a PDF and get reading.
Re: How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
OK so to be complete you need four things in a complete fob:
1) Case. $6 on ebay with uncut key
2) Key: included in case, most locksmiths can cut.
3) Circuit Board. Does remoter lock/unlock/panic requires battery. Can program on car.Range up to about 30 ft.
4) RFID chip. Used by SKREEM to permit car to start. Special program required. Range: an inch or two.
So the only real issue is the RFID chip that is present in the fob and the valet key. To replace the SKREEM, you must program the SKREEM to both the VIN and the RFID keys. if the SKREEM is working, can you just clone the RFID chip ? YWTK.
I have some RFID chips coming in. What tool (preferably PC based) is required to read from one RFID chip and copy to another ?

"An inch or two".. mine slipped back in the new case about 1/4 inch on my first transplant.. 2 no starts and I was back in the house looking to see what was up. And good luck on the "reader - programmer".. I spent an evening with Google and Mercedes based groups looking for a path.

If you do not quote the post you are referring to only you know what could be in errror.
Many people do this and others cannot understand the reply.

If you buy a used keu/fob get the vin the key/fob came from call chrysler dealer give them both vins theu will beable to tell you if it is compatible for your car and can be reprogrammed to your car. If so buy a new blank key and they can lazer cut the new key for your car.

But you cannot program the RFID chip to your SKREEM, therefore, the car will not start and run.
