| Darned, I cannot believe it! Having shipped my CLK500 without gear stick from the US to Europe I am confronted with exactly the same problem.
Keyless unlocking works, the key is detected inside the car and can be used to start the engine etc., but the start/stop button on the shift knob is dead.
I realized that the button kind of works once when sliding the knob onto the shifter - either the ignition is turned on or the engine started during the sliding movement. After that the button plays dead again and doesn't do anything at all.
SL 55 AMG, what was the solution for you in the end?
Or is there anybody else out there who can save me from visiting the dealer (which I'll have to do anyway to remove the speed limit, adjust the frequency steps of the MCSII comand radio to European standard etc.)? Your help is appreciated. |
