hi there i love the push to start ignition in the shifter on some r230 models. does anyone know what are all the parts i would need to source to achieve this?

ive tried the search function and what i could find was people asking when they already had keyless go (older mode with the card)

any help appreciated

It’s rather difficult to add if the car didn’t come with it, not saying it can’t be done, but it’s more than just a few parts.



this is just the beginning

It's not possible to retrofit this.

I believe possible, but definitely not worth the trouble.

Just be glad the car runs snd drives,

Yep, and better save your money for when the ABC suspension explodes.

Yes, correct, I just laid out $ 5000.00 to fix an ABC issue. I just hit a little bump, like a plastic road reflector that is in the lane divider. I mean it was only an inch or less above the road surface and my front left side sunk. Took it to MB DEALERSHIP and boom $5000.00 to replace left front ABC . Works great now, but who knows when one of the other three will spring a leak. Just be prepared, the ABC is notorious for problems In the older SL’s. Mine an 2004 SL 55 AMG. Just saying he is correct. Save your money for the ABC when it fails, which inevitably it will!
The engine is rock solid and is the best ever, the suspension has its issues!
