Keyless go/Push to start instal.
Keyless go/Push to start instal.
I know its kind of pointless but i want one.
So apparently you can buy the push button part (see ebay link) and just wondering if my car can use it or if i need to get a proper key fob with a keyless start function.
I drive a 2011 MB C250.

Let me clarify
So I had this same question when I first picked up my c250. Check your door handles to see if there is a small square on the outside of them that should be the same color as the rest of the car (not the small black one on the drivers door handle). That little square on each handle is whats used to detect your key which will allow you to not only open and close your vehicle without using your keys but will also allow you to use the keyless go/push to start. The $4000 would be if you don't have the sensors on the doors and would need a complete overhaul. Thankfully mine had the sensors and was only a matter of buying the button and "installing" it.

False. You cannot tell any difference from looking at the keys, but the internals ARE different. When ordering a key, the parts dept must know if its Keyless Go or not. You can tell by either seeing if you have code (889) like Funkwagen said, or if your vehicle locks/unlocks by touching the exterior door handle. You don't need the button for lock/unlock function.

When I factory ordered my w204, the keyless go button was not installed. It was instead in a plastic bag with other accessories like the keyfob. The dealer let me have the honors of installing it during delivery. I bet that Mercy250 already had the option, but the button was not installed.

Example: My "local law" requires front license plates, however my dealer or what you call "my processing centre" does NOT install front license plate brackets (by default) to preserve the look of the car, but will do so at the customer request after the fact if desired.
At least on the FL cars, you can identify Keyless Go by the presence of door handle chrome sections. If the door handle is solid body color, the car doesn't have KG ...
