[maaxxyy]

Hi guys need some help in purchasing some aftermarket Mercedes remote fobs IR. So many out there its hard to choose the right one, also many suppliers. Thanks

think the most people using vvdi be keys or cgdi keys

me tested some cheap chinese keys and many of them stopped working after few weeks/months
now testing cgdi keys at the moment (about 6-7 months no problems with them)

Are you in the US? I order keys for Mercedes from UHS and they never let me down.

Don't buy KYDZ key.
It is not cheaper, and it has working problems.
VVDI and CGDI keys are good.
I have them all, vvdi cgdi keys are working great,
Pick one depends on what key tool you have.

CGDI are not great but for sure but anyway still better than most available on the market...

I have sold plenty of vvdi be keys, not had any back. You get a free token if you use vvdi mb tool. On some of the older cars you have to file the bow of the key blank to make it work correctly in the door lock.

Customer brought a w203 coupe with original black key. Remote was not working. I changed batteries and frequency was 433. Since the car was imported from Japan, I changed frequency to 314 but the key failed completely. I made another key. Car started ok but remote only works when you put key close to the sensor on the door handle. Tried both 433 and 314 frequencies both behave the same. Any ideas?

Used KYDZ key for over a year still working,
But after engine off, need to take out the key then insert again otherwise fail to start engine or engine started but can't drive.

Changed to VVDI key and used for another year without any problems.

CGDI MB key is new released so far feel like as good as vvdi key.
Is there any problems you have found ?
I'll be caution on it.

On Vito 2012 cgdi keys worked fine for 3 days then started fail.
