Nice.
More info on double-din install. Does it use the steering wheel controls? Will audio info show up on the dash cluster display?

my dash cluster will only show " AUDIO-----" on the screen. the car doesn't detect any audio system in the car, but it works. i miss having the volume controls but doesn't matter i rather have an ipod intergration than steering controls and watch dvd movies

looks good...i've always been a fan of white cars.
On the tire cap note, i had amg tire caps for two months until someone stole my tire caps. They only stole two....some people are just haters. I don't understand why someone would only steal two and not the other two.

wrong... smart keys do have panic was at the dealer yesterday. He was showing me the different types of keys.. You just have the one with out the panic button which is odd. don't worry you should never forget were you park your merc at least i don't.. If you haven't showed your friends yet, roll your windows with your key fob just hold the unlock button by the door for more then 3 seconds and watch the magic.. holding lock will roll them back up.. Just my two cents if you haven't showed it off yet. My friends went crazy when they saw that . Have fun with your car man. Like another member said black rims would look sick with a chrome lip

Up until 2002 (I believe) Mercedes delivered the cars with 2 regular keys, each with lock, unlock, trunk and panic buttons, plus a valet or emergency key, which lacked the panic button.
Some are confusing the blade key for the door, trunk & glovebox with the valet key. If you can't drive the car with it, neither can the valet . The metal key could lock the trunk and glovebox to secure personal belongings when the car was in the valet's possession.
The "valet key" which was delivered with pre-2003 vehicles looked like a regular smartkey without a panic button.
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ight=key+valet
Read mbtech208's responses (post #7 in particular) regarding valet/emergency keys.
AFAIK the valet/emergency smartkey is still available from the parts department as a special order (at least it was about a year ago).

unfoturnately the steering contorls wont work unless you buy this adaptor or something that what the installer told me but he said its really not worth it, it cost aorund 200usd just for the part.
my dash cluster will only show " AUDIO-----" on the screen. the car doesn't detect any audio system in the car, but it works. i miss having the volume controls but doesn't matter i rather have an ipod intergration than steering controls and watch dvd movies
