I've ordered 1 of new style chrm keys, my SL has Keyless, the integral part u guys are missing to integrate Keyless into new chrm key is this..
You have to get your mb tech to hook up StarDiag to OBII port & program it for Keyless functionality (they have done dozens here @ my local dealr) You also need to present them your CA DL copy & copy of current vehicle Reg.. I'll post pix etc when it comes in etc..

Hmmm my tech says he's done dozens? I guess time will tell (i love the new look & hope he's right?) he's not the average tech, he even knows how to keep Stardiag lowering settings (evry othr tech ive dealt w/hadn't slightest clue, & or few key cycles Starlowering would revert to oem settings etc)

Interesting. Hopefully Sean comes through for us.
I ordered a new chrome key and will pick it up any day now. They tell me it won't be keyless go...hopefully they are wrong.
Sean, where in Socal are you? Diego? LA?

The parts guy gave quoted me $266 (Hommie hook-up price) for chrome key + $15 more for blade key and I have to pay additional charges to program for key-less start.
The other prices he gave me was just basic key with remote entry and key in ignition to start was $187.50
I just choose the full feature I have a feeling it might gonna cost pretty close to $400.00 I will update total coast once I have the new key

No - totally stock.
Might hold off on mods for a while. Came out of a 996TT with mods and spent too much $$.
Aftermarket warranty first, then add XM radio somehow, and a new key - that's it for now - but... same think I said when I bought my stock white TT with X50 package. -haha
I should have kept it - the SL55 and TT would make a killer combo in the garage.

People are trying to make the chrome key work with KG on older R230s for a little more than 3 yrs now. I was one of them...
And all they/we ended up with is:
