Locking compartment over drivers seat

I recently wanted to use the lockable storage above the drivers seat in our 2021 Isata 3. However the key does not work. From what I read it is supposed to be keyed like the vehicle and use the emergency key in the fob. The key fits but won’t lock it. Don’t see how this can happen unless Dynamax removes it and reinstalls during construction. Anyone else have this issue. Is this as simple as going to a MB dealer and having it rekeyed?

We do nothing with those keyed compartments...in fact we don't even order that option. MB just puts them on by accident sometimes...we never know when they will or will not be in there. Seems totally random.

Can you post a pic of what the compartment looks like. Sounds interesting. Wonder if that lockable storage can be purchased at MBZ dealer?
Thanks...

Thanks Brian, just wanted to confirm so when I take in to Mercedes they can’t say something like it was something the manufacturer of the coach did. Waiting for the recalls to catch up so I can take it in one time.

Jneum525, here is a photo of the compartment.

Sometimes, even their door keys don't fit. The fob works....but if you put the key in, it will not turn. We never use the key, so never really noticed until we had one recently.

First thing I thought was wrong key to unit, but works on doors. I haven’t found the emergency key slot yet. Need to look at manual again for location.
