What to Do If You Lose Your Mercedes-Benz Car Key?
2 Answers
When purchasing a car, there is usually a spare remote control. If you accidentally lose the car remote control, the spare remote control will come in handy. If you are traveling out of town or have lost both keys, you will need to go to a 4S store to get a replacement key.
Last time at a gathering, my best friend left her Mercedes key in the hot pot restaurant and was so upset she almost cried. Later, we found out that if you lose a Mercedes key, you must immediately contact the 4S store, bring all the vehicle documents and your ID card for key programming. The store will verify the owner's information through the VIN and synchronize the deactivation of the old key's anti-theft function. Getting a new key may take about 3 days and cost around three thousand yuan, with the price varying depending on the model. For temporary use, you can unlock the car remotely via the mobile app, but starting the car still requires the mechanical key—remember to keep the spare key and emergency card handy. If it's urgent, you can also call for towing service to transport the car to the dealership for handling.
