Where to buy a SL55 AMG Gear Knob (with Keyless GO)

Hi All
Am a newcomer to the MB world with a 2004 SL55 AMG. Issue I have is that on the auto gearstick, the Keyless Go button is pushed in and not working.
I bought the car from a trader, who gave me a good discount as they said they been trying to source a new gearstick (shifter)...
Any idea where I can get one from and approx cost?
Am in UK..........
Super thanks!

Ebay is your friend, just make sure to get a keyless go version and match your interior color/trim. They are also still available from the dealer (knob is sold separately), but they list for around $400.

Many thanks Mike. I've been looking on ebay for several weeks but I havent seen one yet that matches my colour trim (grey) or that's in good condition.
Good to know they still available from Dealer...not so good if they going to charge me over £350 :-(

Cheers for the feedback though Mike

I don't know about the UK, but in the US we have dealers with online parts catalogs with around 30% discounts. Helps a bit.
