My key fob quit working

The key fob for my 2018 PleasureWay Sprinter built on a 2017 chassis has quit working even though I put in new batteries and cleaned the contacts that are accessible. In the beginning the problem was sporadic and now it's totally dead. I've also tried different new batteries with no luck. Mercedes says new key fob not available until January of 2023 at a cost of $218+programing.

I've tried to take the unit apart for removing the board but no luck.I think it's glued together. Are there any companies that repair these? Have any of you had your key fobs repaired? Has anyone successfully disassembled their MB Sprinter key fobs?

    Check with the key fobs are us companies (not their real name) but there are companies that have fobs for dang near everything.. I know a new key for my Jeep is 50 bucks (but it is likely a different type) and I do not know how they match/program them. Sorry I did NOT bookmark the url.. I found 'em with Google.

    Find out what models of Mercedes use the same fob and google for it.
