C-class coupe with keyless-go, distronic and lots of other features
I recently finished retrofitting keyless-go into a C-class coupe after it's manual transmission has been swapped for an automatic transmission and distronic was added.
This car has the most impressive optionlist and is still not entirely finished but distronic, keyless-go and active tire pressure monitor system is up and running.

a preview on youtube:

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Send me all the bits for the manual tranny!!!!! Hey what do these buttons do? Also, I noticed an extra button next to the headlight switch....


Wow, here in the US, the coupe is barely considered a "true" mercedes by the car mags and dealers. Wow, impressive.

I don't see any extra buttons next to the headlight switch. Mirror selection buttons, mirror folding buttons, and headlight washer system button. But I, too, wanna know what the buttons are next to the gear shifter.

Pretty sure those are the adjustments/settings for the Distronic/intelligent cruise control.

@Steve
Is it possible to go with the Keyless Go option while having the manual transmission?

I am not willing to retrofiting the AT so that is my main question, if it is for sure i could plan a trip to NL

Thnx

Can you get keyless go on a manual transmission? That would be EPIC

Wouldn't you then be turning your car on and off constantly as you changed gears??

Put the button elsewhere obviously If what you meant that your hand is always on the engine on off button.
