You might as well invest in a remote starter... MidCityEngineering has a slick system that uses your panic button to remote start. You can even install an app you cant start from virtually anywhere with your phone as long as the car is in network covered area.

The search function is your friend...

Very strange that a CLS 55 AMG lacks standard equip Keyless Start. Eliminate the red flag before you negotiate purchase by taking the VIN to a MB dealer and having it run on NetStar to determine the build sheet options and to verify it is not a poser.

This is the first I heard no Keyless Start on a CLS 55.

Keyless Go was a $1,080 option for the 2006 CLS 55.
