Keyless Go and 2 Cars
One of the features I love most about my SL is the Keyless Go. I'm curious, if I buy another MB with Keyless, can I get the same key coded to both cars. Aka, carry one key and unlock and drive either car?

It is indeed possible with the star diagnostic system
Just go to your local MB workshop and tell them to make it happen.
The only problem is they will need all the keys and both cars for at least an hour or so

Cool!!
Trin,
Thanks! I thought it might be do-able. I was reading the keyless tech documenation and it talk about adding keys to a "rail" in the keyless, so I figure you must be able to attach keys to a car (aka say you lose your key). That would be great to have one SmartKey and be able to open/start any of your MB.

WOW, It's really good to know because in the future I will prefere to have another MB with the Keyless system for my wife and use both with the same key.

Bummer
Well, it's sounding like a resouding no. It would be a nice feature though. Too bad they're being short-sighted about it.

So if the cars are never in proximity, it's probably more useful. Like if I have an E55 in California and another in Europe when I am there.
