Help any suggestions?

Answer
If this is a Mercedes security key, then you may have to have the dealer recode the key. or replace it.
I had to replace my key on my 1986 420SEL it was 50.00 and I had to show up in person with photo ID and the title to the vehicle before they would take my money.
I here that some of the later model keys are 200 ot 300  dollars.

Take $$$$$.
