hi all, i jz heard that if you order the new ML with Keyless Go, you get a very nice key, different from the current ones (which look the same whether you have KG or not). can anyone confirm this and perhaps post a pic or two? thanks!

You can see it and the rest of the system here:

MBUSA - Keyless Go Play the flash movie. Anyone know how to capture stills from a flash movie?

hi actually, aside from the PANIC button it looks quite the same as the current Keyless Go transponder on Mercs. i read that there was a new design of some sort -- perhaps not

rubensans

the diference is that the key will be chromed.

But the smart key also comes chromed.

hold down ALT and press the Print Scrn button. then open up paint or word or something and go edit > paste

are all the new mercedes keys chromed now?

AutoSaurus

There are two different ML keys. The standard (non-keyless Go) key will be similar to current keys in the C, E, and S class. However, the silver keyless Go key is the one shown above that is chromed.

I thought the new key will be chrome on all but in fact it is not.

No more push button flip out style like on the W163. I like the infrared keys much better.

Is it more dificult to stole a car with keyless go?

Here in Spain the stole cars including the onces with smart key.

Best Regards.

ruykava

i'm thinking they usually steal these cars by stealing the keys first? surely that's much easier than trying to break merc's multi-fangled codes or whatever it is

i sorta like the non-chromed keys better, although have to see it in person to decide. somehow the chrome looks pasted on? :P

Paul Le Corre

Seeing the price tag (at least in France) for the option, i wonder if many 164 will be equipped like this.

The chrome key is the same key, that the SLR uses

rubensans

more key

Very nice key, thanks for the pic!!

Can we have some pics of your car?

Thanks!

I wonder if the 2007 CLS will come with this new key. It just looks so luxurious. I hope my wifes R500 comes with this key as well.

Paul Le Corre

This key looks a little bit too shiny for me.

rubensans

I still don't understand what are the benefits of keyless; (1500€).

I love the key, but the funcionality is only to don't have to take out the key from your pocket? I wont pay 1500€ for this since it's not a such terrible action :-D

Best Regards.

phattbam

that's a nice looking key..

Paul Le Corre

I completely agree with you. That's why I ask if this option is successful.

phattbam

for some they have said it's a convenient feature.. when a person has their hands/arms full of groceries/kids they would like to be able to open their doors without having to place them down prior to opening the doors. it's more of a luxury option. it allows some of the mercedes owners to be spoiled

Gunther

Have had my SL with KG for a little over a year....love the feature and wouldn't consider not getting it in any other car.

It goes WAY beyond convenience.

Having been a sceptic of the Keyless Go option before my ML, I can confidently say that I am now a raving fan of Keyless Go. It makes a lot of difference in the daily routine of entering, exiting and starting the car so much easier and even more 'mindless'.

Can you tell us how you managed to get the Keyless Go option on the ML350? I am being told this is not an option for my R350 which I have on order.

mbbodytech

The rumor is that for model year 07, all keys will migrate to this design. So, we'll have to wait and see.

The one thing I don't like is that the buttons are on the same side as the star. Too busy - the way it is now is best, the star by itself and the buttons on the opposite side.

20C4S

it is not the same.

Birger

Jack,

I thought you were getting an R500 with all the trimmings - or have you "downgraded" due to sticker shock??

Cheers,
Birger

PS: Saw a Pewter ML the other day - and under the Nevada sun it wil not be "dull", I agree. It looks better on a ML than on an E, though - and will look OK on the R too.
