That is what is holding me up on my SLK AMG. As soon as it gets keyless go, I will be at the dealership.

Good Luck, you will be glad you are not getting the pano roof, several people have commented on how they think it cheapens the interior of the car.

I feel your pain over here (or I did)... I guess my situ was a little better cause the owner of the dealership is a good friend of mine. When my SL was delivered it was actually brought to my house (by a very reputable NY dealer) with the "Consumer Electronics Inop." or whatever light on. They told me it would go away. As it was raining that weekend we took an SUV out to the East End and upon our return we were dying to drive the new baby. Hop in, drive for a bit, still see the msg after 30 mins of driving. Do some shopping, get back in, didn't see the light at startup, dropped the roof and off we went. Not 30 secs later it was back on but this time all sorts of lights were on. SBC, Consumer, etc... Pulled up to my driveway (it was about to rain) and I stupidly shut off the car before putting it in my garage. When I realized the roof was down I let out a few "choice words", and used teleaid. On a Sunday afternoon, someone was at my place in 15 mins! They jumped the car and put the top up. Then I garaged it. The next morning my dealer sent me a note of apology when they came to tow it in, and gave me a new E to fiddle around with for the day... Was called at work 2 hours later saying all was fixed and they wanted me to verify it myself. Drove there after work, the manager of MB service gave me a walkthrough of what happened and how the problem was fixed. They apologized profusely for even delivering it in that state and said the person who delivered the car was new and was unaware it was serious. We had a good chuckle at that. Turns out the alternator was completely broken. Further, even though I drove it, the battery would not charge. That wouldnt be soo bad, but the starter battery drained leaving no way to start the car. They said this was very rare and the specific dealer had never had a case of this...

Posted this on benzworld also but got an update later...

Few weeks later - Service manager called to make sure everything was OK, said he would personally inspect the car if anythign was wrong... Later that week got a bottle of Krug from Sherry-Lehman. I was willing to forgive and forget after that
