Merc keys come pre programmed using vin number when ordered from dealership. They don’t need to touch the car to program them. Dealership doesn’t make anything ordering a key so charge you 1 hr labour instead, they didn’t want you bringing truck in or onsite for it so they could charge you for nothing. Main dealer main stealer

Hence why the battery was still disconnected and the car hadn’t moved

100% right , I had the exact same issue last the key to my van (mercedes) ordered the key but they insisted I bring the van down bought it down and some lad told me it’s preprogrammed . I demanded the key I ordered after some hesitance from them guess what ? No programming needed

@@isammmehmood2739 A new key will contain all the code it needs and doesn't need additional programming, but it's unique serial number still needs to be read and added to the car's internal registry of authorised keys - otherwise, any Mercedes key would open any Mercedes vehicle. You also need to remove from the car's registry, any keys that aren't in your possession.

As a retired Cop this has been seized under Proceeds of Crime due to the previous owner not having the legal collateral to have paid for it legally therefore a Judge seized it. Same with super priced watches etc etc. In other words they made money illegally ( drugs or whatever). Nice buy 👍

Crazy that you had that messing around at the Mercedes dealer. They could have realised that the car wasn't mobile as you were buying a key because you didn't have one and were bringing it on the back of a lorry. I think that the simple grille with horizontal bars looks much better than the swirly 'chrome dot' types that MB have been using on some recent models.

Rob it’s a shame you have to keep correcting things in the comments, I didn’t see a problem with the merc dealer, and you were right to check the window tint before MOT. Lots of comments are clearly from people who have never been in the trade or are diy mechanics. You both have a wealth of knowledge and experience to know what is the right path to go down and the relationships you build with suppliers and other trade’s help you keep good profit margins. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant video again guys. I am surprised by how you were dealt with by Mercedes. I had a 04 C180 that had no keys and was left on the drive of a friend’s new house as it was abandoned there by the previous owners. My local Mercedes could not have been more helpful. Once i had proof of ownership somebody actually came to the car and made sure it was programmed and running. That was only 7 years ago.
