My Mercedes like all modern Mercedes have electronic key fobs and you have to go to the dealer with ID and proof of ownership matching the VIN number. They are only made in Stuttgart, Germany and it takes you weeks to get one and they are around $200 each, so you don't want to lose one and it is very unlikely someone would pull off getting one to match your vehicle.
