I'm new to MB, so just seeing if anyone can answer some questions:

1) Some parts I can only get at a dealer. Does anyone know of any discount program or club that will get me a discount over their MSRP?
edit: Some dealers participate in this: http://www.mbca.org/benefit/discount...ce-accessories

2) I need a second key for a 2003 SL500, i'm assuming the dealer is the only place for this? they said $350 and 1 week for delivery..
edit: Talked to some MB guys, they said that as far as they know, only MB can reissue keys.

3) Some discussions on mbworld say that if you buy the cables for a few hundred bucks, you can install the Mercedes Star Diagnostic System (SDS) on a laptop running XP. Anyone have an SDS system of their own?

4) Where do you usually get parts from online?
