I like to have the sound, but I also like to scare friends w/ the panic button

I wonder if HOI and Walters are under same owner? I bought mine at HOI but it was shipped from Walters.

yeah i have netherlands setting. like you said though, i do not have panic though since it is deactivated with netherlands.
wish i had it sometimes though.
i wonder if the 800-MERCEDES number got placed that way by MBUSA, rather than having HOI hog it up!

I told him about people on here that have done it and it is plug and play. He told me not to believe what i read on the net. 
So i went to the parts department to buy the lights and just install them my self and have them set the computer for Bi-X.. the parts department guy said the lights were $1400 Each! 
So that was out... then i went and talked to my service guy about turning my computer to netherlands to have my alarm beep, he told me he could not do that because they would get in truble... so i could not even get that done
well.. Im in socal (riverside) any one know of any shops i can go to and the Bi-X installed and the netherland put on? im willing to drive but not super far. i will go to LA or SD so basicly 1-2hour drive.
any one know of any shops? or is that nice gentleman every one raves about (steve?) in socal now?

No dealer is going to tell you the truth bro, you need to know a contact at a specific dealer and then he will give you the proper info. But for now, order the lights from Steve and have him or someone on this forum help you install them. After that you will get it programmed.

Where did you get the tint job? Do you have problems with the key fob?
The background of your pic looks sorta like the Norco Hills Estate Area!

steve somes to so cal like 2-3 times a year. the longest you would have to wait is just a couple months more than likely if you want him to install them for you.
