2005 SL 500
2005 SL500 - Remote/Alarm/Sound

I had a 2007 SLK - when you locked the car with the remote the lights would flash and the car would make a 'chirp' sound to confirm being locked. I just bought a 2005 SL500 - when you lock with the remote it only flashes the lights but makes no sound at all - thus you always have to look at the car to ensure it locked.

Does anyone know of a way to get the SL500 to 'chirp' when locking with the remote?

Thanks..

Take it to the nearest MB dealer.
They'll make it chirp while you wait, for free.

Be persistent or try another dealer.
Cheers.
