GLK
Is it possible to add Distronic plus to GLK
hello people
i am planning to buy a GLK and looking at ads currently. But one with radar cruise control is very hard to come by.
is it possible to upgrade the car afterwards and add radar cruise control ? i use radar cruise control and auto steering in my current car a lot and i would be very happy if i can upgrade a GLK with it.
i am looking at facelifted GLK's.
there are radar sensors and for the glk in ebay. but do i need dealer tools to install them? code them to car etc?
if necessary can i do that coding with the mb star diagnostics tool they sell on aliexpress ?
i am in Spain by the way if that helps. i happily drive to Germany for this.

Looks like it. If I didn't have a manual transmission I'd try the retrofit too but I'm sure there's no way for me to get it to work.

Definitely possible. Parts, labor and coding. However is worth the cost?
I don’t think I would do it to my 2015 GLK350 with 50k miles.

You are looking at about 5200$ USD for the primary sensor (212-900-46-03), 2X bumper sensors (000-905-57-01), Mercedes-Benz Star emblem (164-888-04-11), bracket (212-885-03-14), and steering column from a dealership at MSRP. That's not including the wire harnesses. Maybe around 1400$ for the parts as used.
Depending where you go, the price is variable for labor and programming. Most likely, they would need to make new wiring unless you want to pay for the main wire harness from the dealership. The mechanic would need to take apart the majority front end of the car. Cars with the radar have a different brake modulator valve (172-431-60-12), but it may not be necessary to switch this part. The steering column shifters needs to be switched as well.
