Off of a 2010 Gl550 with keyless go.

On the gl550 this is the piece that is actually situated in the ingnition at all times. You can just press it to start the car (instead of the gear shifter on e55)

If you remove the piece its just a normal ignition so you can infact use your key if you wish.


))))


I tried to install it on my e55 and it fit perfectly and looked really sick. I took some really bad pics at night to show you guys. The only thing is that on my e55 it wont start the car like its supposed to on the gl550, i did have my e55 keys with me and it still did not work.


Does anyone know how we can get this to work. I doubt its much different?





I can get you guys the part number later, but it definitely makes the car looks more updated in my opinion.

Interesting... how much did the part cost?

Please post P/N asap. Thanks

The neat thing about this button is that it doesn't need to be coded to any specific car. You can use any button in any Keyless Go equipped vehicle (with column mounted shifter) as long as you have the right keys.

So if I have keyless go, but have a shifter that is not column mounted, this won't work? Like in my E55?

Looks sick. to bad it wont start the car, just looks. wonder if 2010's use a key thats a different technology

Older model MBs that don't have a column-mounted shifter have the starter buttons for Keyless Go on the gear shifter. When they [MB] made the switch to column mounted shifters in the newer models, they needed somewhere to put it so they moved it to the ignition slot. I'm not sure about the technology behind it, but it doesn't work in models that have KG, but on the gear shift. I'm not sure what's required to make it work or if it's even possible. I'd assume for the right amount of money it can be done.

It's not a 2010 thing. My ML63 and S550 both have the starter button in the ignition slot and they're both 2007s.

I bet it works in a C and new E

It would be cool to add, just for looks but kinda kooky to have two engine start/stop buttons. Plus everytime I've taken it to the dealer they never start the car with keyless go, they always use the ignition slot.

MJ50

cuz it's an OEM mod wifey will definitely notice!

I got this installed both on my
S320 2001, and E320 2003.
previously i got my car equipped with Keyless go, and the button were on the Shift knob.

i plug it in the ignition,. the new button doesn't work. so i press the old button on the Shift knobs.. it has the part numbers which starts of A221. this was installed on S320.

and i did the same on E320, which happen to be worst case. lol..
if i plug it in, and i press the button. the next thing happened will be.. i can't start of my car with the shiftknob button. so i pull it out from the ignition.
and it allows me to start the car from shift knob button.

so i think the W211 are able to be set and use with it. while the w220 can't

by last, i attach the "useless" but "cool" keyless knob on the ignition :p

CMIIW.

i have not searched but thought i'd ask - i have a 2012 GL450 without keyless go - if i add this button will it work? just would make it easier/lazier -

timeToy

Just got a 2012 GL450 without Keyless Go too, and my understanding is that only the button will not add Keyless Go functionality, to add full keyless Go functionality you need some receivers in each door, some additional control modules, new keys and some coding, not for the faint of wallet.

baldmike73

bummer - was hoping i could just get the button for the start/stop - my E55 is in the shop and will ask my mechanic too if he knows a shortcut for the ignition

I want to see if this will work with the E55 with keyless go.. Has anyone else tried?

crhait

I did a few years ago. It did not function but blocked the key hole and looked cool, but it interfered with the system. After having takingthe car in numerous time for intermittent keyless go issues, the tech said it may be the problem. I removed and have no problems since.

Shifter

Totally different KG system guys. Its a " No Keyless go" for the E55.

Same here, my wife's GLK350 have that cover for Keyless go. I took it out and put it in my E63..look cool and later on my keyless go start to malfunction. I removed the cover and now my start button on the shifter don't work. Put the key fob back in the ignition and turn it a fews time to clear the malfunction. So I think there is something in the cover that communicate with the car.
