Nope the little birdy was correct going to see if that is possible. Also a Passport 9500CI remote radar/laser sysem INTEGRATED into the MB information center - this will actually create an additional sub-menu in the computer for the radar and all controls as stated by SRQLAW. If I hadn't seen his post I would never have thought about it!

Well I got the next best thing, Rotora brake upgrade.
Front: 12 piston 16in rotors, Rear: large 4 piston 15in rotors sitting in the garage That is the next step after the car gets home. Then paint and update to SL63 rear look. Then a few carbon fiber interior pieces. Well I just spilled all the beans.

Welp, so much for the possibility of me owning the quickest SL600. That's an extensive mod list and your car sounds absolutely sinful.
