KeylessGo Retrofit?
Hey guys, I was wondering what your thoughts were on retrofitting KeylessGo for the SLK? It looks like you can use the same door handle and shift knob from the SL. I know Sunil has retrofitting his C class with KeylessGo and was wondering how hard it would be to do it.

Unless you have 1) extreme good contacts within the mercedes organisation that also know a bit about their product AND 2) lots of time to fool around with the car AND 3) lots of money to order more parts when previously ordered parts don't seem to work - keyless go retrofit is pretty much undoable (which is something different then impossible).

And what would be the point in doing this ? What benefits does it bring, I can only see disadvantages and have experienced these with my previous Audi A8

The rear keyless go lock might be W209 compatible. As for the door handles themselves anyones guess. If your first name is "Sultan" and your second name is "Of Brunei" then it is no problem at all.
Personally I would settle for "mini-go" which is my name for interior-only Keyless Go and nothing to do with the door handles.
2K is nothing like what it costs. It would start from 5K and go up from there. Bearing in mind that this is not a weekend DIY type of excercise.

Well, I was really considering the SL, but felt that it wasn't worth it. All those options are nice, but when you get up to that price range there are a couple stiff conpetitors, and there would be a model change coming soon. So an SLK55 is the next logical car (I had to have a hardtop convertible). It just would be nice to have all those features on the SLK. I know that Sunil retrofitted all of these options on his C class.

By the way, Steve and Dean installed VCS for the a few days ago and it works great! Thanks guys!
