The EPC always identifies the tumblers as "less key", but they do come with a key. The dealer parts guy says that when the code the lock, the only way to test it is to cut a key for it. So they cut a key, test the lock, and then ship it with the key. Either MB recently changed it's policy somehow (which I doubt), somebody goofed up, or the dealership thinks they need to remove the key since the EPC said it wasn't supposed to include one. You *did* buy this from a Mercedes dealer, right?
