The lexus wallet key is merely an emergency key in a very small package without any electronics or bells or whistles. It is a nice thing to have.

Regarding KEYLESS GO, you are right, I just checked manual. It's good when a car knows you, but better if it was biometrical information to avoid carrying anything.

keyless go
I like the keyless go Its just not working properly I think or at least does not seem to have the distance needed. When I was at the dealer yesterday the rep had trouble getting it to work properly. After playing with it for a while our conclusion was you have to allow a small amount of time between actions for the car to respond. Of course not reading the manual as typical for me. I did find out that when you open the car if you pull and hold the opening lever which is on the back side of the handle it opens all windows and roof. Conversely when you press the button on the outside of the door handle to lock and hold the button down it locks and closes all the doors and windows. It is cool when unlocking the doors as when you press the handle the door kicks open. I assume that is because of an electronic lock. I did not order keyless go I ended up taking the E-500 sport with keyless go and pano roof as my E-500 did not arrive. It finally came yesterday and the salesman said that it arrived equipped for a European license plate. Must have run out who knows but they had to order the peace for American plates and will probably have to paint it.

keyless go
I bet most ladies carrying a handbag will like the feature not having to take the car keys in and out of the handbag. Would make an interesting advertisement - in an emergency with the MB woman running towards the car promptly getting in and the other without keyless go frantically looking for the key in the bag..
Of course, the flip side is that if you have the habit of leaving the key in your bag or pockets using keyless go, you normally will not have access to the panic button or having the car to pop open your trunk (dirty fingers) or luminated entry.

i thought you canaccess the trunk or the fuel filler flap..on the video at mbusa, it shows that....but it is also a safety key...you can never lock your car with the key inside....and when ever someone does try to lock the car...you will see the locks remain up.....so after 2 years...i am pretty sure that most of us will not have the tendancy to look every time..but with that....it will help you...

This is some funny stuff, the car is going to outsmart itself. I don't think its worth it even if it were functioning, but this is the second instance I have heard that the system is not up to par on an E-class. I remember when they first came out with that infrared remote and they put the receiver on the rearview mirror and you had to point the fob at the front of the car to get it to work. Great cars, stupid gadgets.
Datrader, does that mean stock or cars? Sounds like you'd bail if given the opportunity.
