I ma wondering how good is the anti-theft system in the 2004 CLK-320 coupe.

How about the key? My old Honda has a computer chip build in the key to match the chip in the ignition.

No response???

I am surprised. Don't we all care about the safety of our cars? I am sure that at least some of you have the same concerns as me.

The consensus is that current MB's are very, very hard to steal. The best way to steal an MB is with a tow truck.

The keys are matched to the ignition switch. There are a limited number of keys per switch. Once those keys have been used, the ignition switch must be replaced.

You could search the forums at mbworld.org for more information.
