lighted M star

So my 2017 GLS came without the Lighted M star. Can I have the dealership install it.

Yes, i've added them on cars that we have sold from the dealer. The parts department sells a kit that plugs in like factory to add it on.

Correct - if you have Driver's Assistance package - the "flat Star" is part of the forward sensor system so Illuminated Star cannot be installed..

True, the star on the distronic equipped cars cannot be swapped out. Good point.
