Start Button
Why is every single switch in the car illuminated, from the seat controls to the sill plates to the trunk release, but not the Start/Stop button???

Given that the start button inserts into the key slot, where would it get power to illuminate?

Surely the automotive design geniuses behind the lighted star could figure out how to illuminate the Start button.

In the 2019 C43 AMG the push start button is illuminated. You can no longer remove the start button.

How do you start the car if the fob battery dies?

Maybe like some other brands, where you press the start button with the fob? Of something like Ford where there's a slot somewhere to put the dead fob, to enable the start button?

Yep, you just press the FOB up to the button and will sense it and start the car even if the FOB is dead.

Even if the middle of the button isn't illuminated they should have a lighted ring around it.
