Are these starter buttons simple swaps or do you just double side tape on a cover? Can't seem to find any articles on this, most leads to changing key batteries/cover.

Red CF start buttons

or maybe search through the MBTrueNorth Facebook threads. Private group though so you will have to join to view threads I think.

I tried to post a link but ??? it did not last.

Why are these $195 each? Serious question, what am I missing? Ones on eBay are $20, I'm okay with non-OEM fake carbon fiber if it saves me $180. After all it's a button, not some performance part.

I don't know anything about the EBAY start buttons. Do you have a link?

In the end it is your car, up to you.

It is my car and it is up to me, but I was just curious why the drastic price discrepancy between various parties.

Probably because those are Chinese made plastic replicas, not authentic Mercedes buttons wrapped in real carbon fiber.

It's like asking why a replica sword is cheaper than one made by a blacksmith.

They go over your authentic mercedes button and are just a cover, vs the carbon being applied wet to the button.

I would certainly take a chance for 20 bucks as it pretty much looks the same, there is a guy on ebay just buying these sticking them on mercedes buttons and selling for 100 making 65 bucks each!

Ah okay, that's what I thought. I could live with that. I thought the OEM keys got something more than real vs fake CF.
