shame it still comes with the card although its still cool option. the bright side for me is im not so upset now that im not getting keyless go because i thought it was in key and dont want to have to carry both anyways.

congrats on the car. sounds awesome

Root...you're obsessed with the Keyless go

My car was built in late January, and the keyless go was on the card. I like it that way, but that's just me. I'd prefer to carry no keys whatsoever (both my office and my home have keyless entry).

The TSA dudes at the airport, however, were a bit confused by the Keyless Go card. My wallet was x-rayed, and when they saw all the electronics in there, they had to take a look. My explanation left them with blank faces. My guess is that TSA people are not exactly compensated at the Mercedes Keyless Go level. Just a guess however.

Well deserved!

Glad you finally are getting your well deserved SL55AMG. Love the way the light reflects off the ultra metallic silver grill.

My father got his silver 2003 sl55 with keyless go about 1 month ago and it came with the card and key. Both of them work the same with the keyless go system except that on the key you can use the remote lock/unlock. Overall, the system is pretty awsome. I was like a monkey playing with it, putting my hand in the doorhandle over and over to get the doors to unlock. Each time it brings a grin to my face. I can't wait for my new e55 w/keyless go to get here. It's supposed to be here in late may. Mine only comes with the key though. I love the card because it doesn't stick out of your pants if you are wearing light trousers and the key is in your pocket.
P.S. driving the sl55 is like walking through the door to nirvana, enjoy!

I will post pics on Monday, I left my smart media adapter at work.

Had a guy in 2002 BMW 330CI hunt me down and pass me, I let him go past, saved me the 6 points and him the humility in front of his girlfriend or wife!

This guy just had to pass me I was going 70MPH in a 45 because I new he trying to show me what his BMW can do as he was closing at a high rate of speed. I just settled in at 60 and let him fly by at a 100 or so and then he slowed he gave me **** grin that he beat an SL55 AMG What a nut job!

It was hard to hold back, but in this car sometimes you have too or you will be going 120MPH in a 45 zone and then behind bars!

A lot of people want to race this car, lots of reving engines at red lights.
