Hello to all, i am new here with a few questions.
So recently i got an 07 S550 (W221?)
1- i have been told by the dealer that i do not have a keyless go installed
on my car, but...
i can unlock and lock all the doors without pressing any key on the remote,
using a proximity sensor i guess.
can i do something so i can start the car as well while the key is in my pocket?

2- can i do something regarding the fact that the trunk button only opens the trunk but cannot close it (i can close it from the inside of the car or the button inside the trunk)?

3- the sun roof opens all the way when i press the button above the rear view mirror but to close it i have to hold the button until it closes all the way, is that normal?

4- i don't have "birds eye" view in my nav nor the option to watch dvd even when i am in "P" what should i do in order to have my dealer do an update without charging me?

Thank you,
(i am in the u.s)

1: If you can unlock the car by touching the door handle, and lock it by pressing the square on the handle then you do have KG 100%. You need one of the Keyless Go buttons that plugs into the key slot. If you try purchasing one from the dealer and they try to BS you about price and it being coded to each vehicle specifically, they're BSing you. Any button will work in any KG equipped car assuming there's no KG Start/Stop button on the gearshift.

2: No. (I think... On the ML you can close/open it via the remote but on the S, S, and SL you cannot.)

3: No. Shouldn't have to press and hold.

4: Tell them it's acting all funky. Might work... Mention blackouts and the like. Mine was randomly restarting itself and getting stuck so they updated free of charge.

Thank you so much for the response :-)

I agree 100%, you need to get one of the buttons, however in my 07 S600 you have to hold the button aswell, maybe its an 07 thing??

QuadBenz

I have an '07 and I don't have to hold it pressed..

Wait a sec, AMG1 and the OP, do you both have the Panoramic Sunroof? I think for the PS you have to press and hold, it's not one-touch.

i do have the Panoramic Sunroof

QuadBenz

Well then that's why you have to press and hold to close it.

Does that only apply to US-spec's? Is this something that can be programmed to have one-touch close?

Diesel Benz

This was changed at some point, also for US cars. Don't know if there was a way to program it as if it was a later MY, I have not looked at it and might not even reach all necessary info. (US) retrofit experts should be able to comment.

I do not know anything about the panoramic sunroof, but most window/sunroof modules have a reset/programming feature. Open the sunroof using the one touch feature. When it is fully open, press and hold the button in the close direction, but only to the first 'click' do not depress it all the way (past the click). Allow the sunroof to close, but keep the button pushed forward even once the roof is closed, for about 5 seconds. IF one touch close is an option for you it should now work.

To reprogram the auto-windows/sunroof after any sort of power outage such as a dead battery, you must follow this procedure for each function/direction of the window (up and down) to 're-activate' the one-touch feature.

Diesel Benz

This all is generally quite valid but the early panorama roofs really did not have the one-touch close option and not even normalisation as above would help.

Run your vin through http://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/ hit the data card. If you have code 889 you have keyless go. You might just have to buy the start button and you should be set. If you want you can PM me you vin and I can check it out for you.
