Why is the SmartKey an option on the SLK?

Read in the new Mercedes Momentum today that that SmartKey is an option on the new SLK's, why would that be? If it's standard on lower modesl (C-Class), the only reason I can see is that they have something better than the SmartKey and are introducing it on the newest model.

Thanks

Silver Lana-

Pg.28, right hand side of the page under "The SmartKey", it's in the Tech Tips column.

Confused about this one....

They must be refering to the remote roof activation feature of the smartkey, not the smartkey itself.
Cheers!

Silver Lana-

Wish that was the case, but it doesn't appear or sound to be that way be what MB says:

" The SmartKey is standard on the S, SL, CL, CLK, E, G, and C-Classes, and optional on the SLK."

Doesn't sound too promising...here's hoping though.

'13 SL550 '15 C400 4MATIC and a really old Honda Accord
It is a mistake on the website I believe. 04 SLK and prior has the similar keys to ML class which still uses the metal part to start the engine.

The info. I am talking about is from the Momentum magazine, not the MBUSA website.

Smart Key on MB Canada site

The smart key is now listed on the MB Canada website site as an option and they also list pewter silver as an available colour!

the "IR remote roof activation" is optional on the SLK350, not the smart key itself...
