We only got 1 key when we bought our Crossfire a few weeks ago. Can anyone tell me where the best place to get another would be please? Having visions of losing the only one we have and being totally stuck!
Apart from that the Crossfire is AMAZING

 

I'd try the previous owner, turned out that they had my locking wheel nut key still. Makes you wonder why they thought it would be a good idea to keep it separate from the XF.

 

Will check with the previuos owner but if they don't have it for any reason is there anywhere I can source one from?
thanks again for the help

 

I'm assuming you could go through a dealership but it would be probably be very expensive. Or at least more expensive than I think would be worth it... When I bought the car it only came with 1 key that was in rough shape and I think I was quoted $200something

 

I also only got one key i bought a brand new blank of the internet was a merc key but exactly the same, got it cut localy, but none of the mobile auto locksmiths can program it,

only place i can find to it is the main dealer at a cost of £250

 

Why not try a local MERC specialist.
Ask if they are programmed using STAR

 

we can get them for 150 shipped

 

is that 150 dollars or pounds ?????????????

 

US dollars assuming shipping in the US, for UK we would be at $160usd shipped

 

The keys have a VIN specific chip in them. I do not think that the dealers can program them, only trusted distributors.

 

Thanks very much for everyone's help. Will try contacting local Merc and Chrysler dealers and see what they say. Will try very hard not to lose the key we have!

 

I'm betting NeedsWings will be cheaper, you might want to jump on that

 

So having only had 1 key since Feb and the previous owner not replying decided to bite bullet and contact a dealer - 1st try MB dealer no joy tried Chrysler dealer locally again no joy, then rang dealer that said he could supply 6 months ago - he is also definite that cannot get me a key! when is a Chrysler dealer not a Chrysler dealer. That's the bad news but there maybe a solution (sell car did I hear) I spoke to an auto locksmith who says he can supply me a non remote transponder key to open door & start car - waiting on quote will keep you all updated

 

thanks so much - will be interesting to find out as I have had zero success from a number of places. Scared to put our only key down!

 

I bought my car back in July from a local Chrysler dealer. It only had one key, so part of the deal was they supply a second key (and get the headliner fixed). It took me 2 months and one day to receive my new key. I was told they had to send the key off to Mercedes (which took 2 weeks) once they finally located one. I didn't complain about the time it took, since I was paying for it. I just couldn't believe it took that long to find it, then program it. When I got it, the door locks didn't work. Found the programming on here.

The plastic and rubber on the original is in pretty rough shape. I'm considering one of the new all black cases I've seen on ebay. Don't really care for the little Chrysler logo on the back anyway. I always mistake it for the lock button when in my pocket.

 

I just got a new key. $159. Takes about two weeks. You may have to run this simple procedure.

Timan, So, this key worked fine? That's a lot of $$$ for a key. But, I only have one, so I'd better bite the bullet.....

 

The key worked flawlessly. Just took a moment to run the sync steps. Actually comes from Chrysler. The address on the UPS package is:
Martin Harris Brubaker Chrysler Jeep, 1020-60 Lititz Pike, Lancaster, PA 17601 Its at the corner of state route 72, Looks like a regular dealership. Very odd. Bill

More info: It appears that some larger Chrysler dealers still have a Mercedes link. They continue to sell a Mercedes SUV and can get the keys. My local dealer seemed to know this but didn't say anything until I showed him howI got my key. Nice.

 

This guy despite many chases didn't come up with a solution and he is Exeter based (112 miles away). Saw sign at local Timpsons they are adamant that they can get keys complete & program - anybody had any experiences? I will investigate further in a few weeks on return from UK & Swiss Holidays (sorry)

 

i can get it for ya
