Bay Area Installs Sept 20-22 Mbenznl

If anyone needs any basic mods done while I am on my HOLIDAY in San Fran, let me know. I am not installing seat heaters or auxillary heaters. Most people know the list of Mbenznl Mods available. You can contact Steve directly or email me at sunil@mwhouston.com I will have my star diagnose with me also for programming

Question re trunk closer

Does the trunk closer upgrade "open" the truck automatically? Also, will a installed remote top controller (SmartTop) continue to function properely considering the trunk closer mod includes a new control unit?

Sorry to have been on vacation when you guys were in Atlanta earlier this month.

I do not offer trunk closers for the r230 SL class due to the complexity of the install. the smart roof module has many features incase you are interested.

Excuse me, but what r u'al talkin about? NL mods? Controllers? Smarttops?

Is there some way to make the roof operate from a distance? That may interest me. Cant stand having to point the thing from 12 inches away at the door handle, seems too basic for a 100K car, and am I the only one with cts in 13 seconds?

PLs post a list of mods, with description/cost, if you want my business. Ill be in neast when the leaves change.

the smart top module is what lets you operate your roof from a distance.

I saw MBenzNL installed a F! medical steering wheel with shifter on one of the fellow member's E200K. Is this also avaible to the 2005 E500 ?
