Keyless go

Can keyless go be installed in a 2005 SL500 that didn’t come with it? If so what all is needed?
I apologize if this has been asked before. I looked but couldn’t find.

It' "possible", but I don;t think you;d want to tackle it. You have to obtain donor parts from a car that had it, and not just the KeylessGo parts, but also the EIS, and then you get into odometer issues. Honestly, it would probably be less expensive to sell yours and buy a replacement that has KeylessGo.

Thanks very much. I figured but with so many keyless go parts on eBay I thought “maybe” but sounds like I don’t need the hassle!
