It is a key issue most likely, try unlocking the car and taking a little more time to insert key into igniton than you normally do to see if that works. It can be a coding/timing issue in the anti-theft logic and most times replacing the key is all that is needed. otherwise it is the EIS acronym for electronic ignition switch which is a major control unit for the starting and anti-theft system.

SOURCE: e320 car key doesn't work

I had the same problem with my 2001 E320. Roadside assistance came to my house and said it was a problem with the key. Ordered a new key (cost about $220 from Keys European in Van Nuys, CA) and the key worked. When I went to dealer to pick up the key, I spoke to a service consultant and he said that hes seen that problem before and replacing the key wont do anything (even though it did work). He said something about a ESI (something like that) and said that parts only on that cost about $600. So first thing you should try is replacing your key. Hope I helped.

2002 E320 __alarm went off-disconnected battery for month__charged battery__now car wont start

Two options you can try. 1st, lock and unlock each door manually with the key including the trunk, then try to start vehicle. 2nd option, with vehicle battery, turn the ignition to the 'on' position, reconnect the battery then try to start the car.

Radio code won't work

When you turn the radio on does it say "Code" in the display? When you enter the 5 digit code hold the button in for a couple seconds. ( I don't remember if you will hear a beep like you do when you preset your stations) Take your time and make sure your hitting the right ones. When I got my car back from the shop it wouldn't work I tried like 30 times, for some reason the buttons weren't depressing all the way. I used compressed air around the buttons followed by WD-40 and waited awhile, tried again and it worked on the 1st or 2nd try.
You can't drive without music..... Good Luck!

HMMMM thinking aloud here ,_-_--hmmm right have you run a hot wire from + on battery to the small terminal on the starter if so and it cranks then its either starter relay or the ignition switch ,but if starter turns ok with the hot wire then before you go any further try the spare key if still no joy with spare key then its electrical fault if it starts with teh spare key then your other key has lost its chip or been close to a mobile phone or TV screen and blanked the magnetic bar code .
