Walnut Keypad Cover
Just replaced the keypad cover on my S550 with the walnut version. Not only does it look better, it feels better too. Worth considering.

Nice touch! Where did you get it and was it hard to install?

Came from the dealer - S600 part. The newer S600's have the walnut
keypad. Need to make sure you order the right color since the base will be
silver, beige or black. 10 minutes to install - Open center storage
compartment. Pop the keypad by inserting a small screwdriver in the whole in
the front of the keypad housing (on the compartment side). Remove the wire
from the keypad. Remove the large torx screw in the middle of the keypad
housing. Replace housing with new part and reassemble keypad.

Aren't you glad you didn't get this piece of wood. Looks like a human face in the middle of this piece (at least it does to me). I found this picture while browsing through the S600s for sale on eBay.

Makes you wonder if anyone noticed it at the factory. This reminds me of looking for animals and things in the cloud formations. But this one stood out like a sore thumb to me.It may be the ghost of Karl Benz! Looks almost demonic. Even the nose is highly defined and you can see the left ear very clearly too. Orbital bone structure is clearly seen too. EEK
