Post Purchase Keyless Entry / Parking Sensors

Took delivery tonight of a 2014 GL 350 that was well optioned. Unfortunately the clearance model did not have keyless entry or parking sensors (unless I am doing something wrong). What is the most efficient way to have these items added? Can a dealership install these or would it be better for aftermarket tuning shop?

Any help is appreciated, as the wife was already disappointed to be giving up Heads Up Display, interface and inclusive service with the outgoing X5. I took a quick search of the forum, but did not see my answer.

even if you could add the systems it would cost a fortune, if you didn't get it from factory its not worth installing it

im pretty sure if you get some aftermarket kit you would void all sorts of warranty with the car electronics

Contact MBenzNL if you're serious about retrofitting those factory options. It'll come at a pretty penny but he's the expert on OEM retrofits and if it can be done he'll tell you.

PS dealers are clueless and don't think outside of the box.

I know there are many aftermarket parking sensor options, but won't be as clean as the factory.

Keyless I believe would be very expensive, new ignition, 4 new door handles, new buttons on the tail gate, reprogramming etc etc.
