Adding distronic plus to 2017 SLC 300

So mechanic was at my house the other day replacing a windshield. He mentioned to me that I have I have a lot of sensors on my car and that it’s probably possible that I could enable distronic with a little coding and some parts so my car has Blindspot and early Crash warning. has anyone done this before curious to do it? I live in Georgia willing to travel to Atlanta or Florida to make this happen. My vin number is WDDPK3JA0HF127184

This is the R107 Forum - SL and SLC through 1989.

I looked through the main forum directory and didn't see an SLC Forum. However, if I search with 'SLC300' in the title, there are threads in an 'SLC300 Forum.' I just didn't find the forum. A moderator will have to help here.

What is your model number - R172? There is an 'R172 Forum' - don't know if that's it.

Thanks meadows222. Looks like the SLC300 belongs in the SLK Class (R172).
