Theoretically yes but in practise no. You should be able to take a photo yourself, the KG key looks the same as the standard key these days.

I am sure that I posted these pictures before...

Here's the key:


Door handle (note the crome on the upper portion):


Starter button (I still have to learn how to pop it off for manual override):

Learn how to pop it off? You just yank it off, To put it back in, it just clips in

Did you try? I am sure it will be one of those things I learn to do while stranded in a snowy parking lot with two kids and a screaming wife.

um... great. Just wondering what would stop us doing it other then the cost.

Anyone has done this or has looked into it before?

Cheers

I think one can put the cap on a standard EIS too. It would not have any other functionality than blocking the standard key from the EIS though.

I did not check for the W204 but often the EIS is different for KG even if it looks the same.

The rest of the parts that are difficult to retrofit include the door locks and sensors and the wiring throughout the car. New antenna amplifier with related parts at the top of the rear window, interior/rear/door antennas, of course the KG control unit plus a lot that I've forgotten.

New keys of course and finally the car would need to be coded for KG. US workshops (official dealers) would unlikely be able to do that as they would not have the SCN coding option if the KG option cannot be added because of MBUSA policy.

I've seen some of the retrofit experts reporting this task performed (probably another car) but it would have to be their own car (where work hours do not count) or someone who would have the money to buy a new car with KG.

Yeah quite a few times actually, since when I let a family member use my car I'm too lazy to explain to them on how to start the car (press the brake..etc) lol

Make sure I understand - is there a keyless go mod? If so, where would one purchase it from? I'd love to get in on a group buy or worst case go stag...

Go to Mbdecoder site and put in your VIN. Keyless go option code is 889.

If the top half of your door handles (the actual part you pull on to open the door) are chrome then you have keyless go. If handles are all the same color as the car then you do not have keyless go.
