Do you need to go to the original dealer to get keys cut off a code or can you go to any dealer and get them?

You can get code keys cut at any dealer or locksmith. It cost me about $7 several years ago.
Any dealer of the manufacturer (like GM), not just the make (like Oldsmobile), should be able to cut keys on genuine original equipment key blanks. Also any locksmith should be able to do it as they have code books and often the genuine code cutting tools. By locksmith I mean a real one, not the guy at the corner hardware store, who can only duplicate keys you already have.
Have ID ready, and possibly proof of ownership of the vehicle. Unless the dealer knows you, they may not cut a key unless they know you own the car.
Depending on the vehicle going to the dealership alone to get a key cut may not be enough. For instance the vast majority of newer vehicles are being equipped with Sentry Security Systems or the automakers version of it. These keys range easily from $75 - $600 depending on the manufacturer and the type of key and have to be present to be programmed. Unfortunately, the price of the key machine is added into the price of a key. So dealerships that had to buy a laser cut machine knocks even their cheap keys up to pay for the machine. Certain keys need to be programmed for their computer chip and/or built in transmitters. IF you have any spare keys with a spouse or family memeber be sure to bring it in because depending on the manufacturer when they program one it may void others if they are not present.

What is the Part number for a 2006 SL55 Keyless Go key?
Keys are a dealer only item for later MB's....you need to bring ID and proof of car ownership when you go to the dealer. You should call your local MB dealer to get the actual part number for the item you want. Have you VIN handy because they'll probably ask you for it. MB dealers will give you that information...why you would need is a mystery to me. These keys are laser cut keys, and the remote units are very expensive to replace. Basically...to replace these keys, you need to give the dealer the VIN and they can order a key for you.
