Keyless Lock/Unlock Install ?Multi-switch? - Benzworld.org

I purchased a keyless lock/unlock for my 124. Looks as thought installation is pretty straight forward with the exception of wiring to the steering wheel mounted multi-switch. Not that the wiring itself is complex, but getting to the multi-switch looks like a substantial project in itself (steering wheel & under dash panel removals...yikes!). So my questions are as follows:

1. Can this switch be accessed in any other way (to tap into the circuit only without all steps leading to complete removal)?

2. Related to the multiswitch: Does this switch carry the full electrical load for the signal lamps, or does it have microswitches to relays that actually power the signal lamps.

3. Any other options known out there? I'm thinking a "chirp", in lieu of blinking signals that tapping into the multiswitch provides.

I would very much appreciate your inputs.

Thanks for the link Jorge, could be very useful.

Is this the system on Ebay with the switchblade key holders? If so I installed this system in July.

The panels are not THAT bad; get the MB CD or Haynes manual and go slowly. There's a hidden screw for the driver's left foot side kick panel, for example.

1. No
2. Yes, carries full load.
3. Chirp not really necessary. I just see if the door pins go up/down.

And, oh, make sure that you cut the CORRECT blue wire. For some reason Mercedes decided that in the bundle of wires that you need to access, there are TWO blue wires of identical colour and thickness. If the first one doesn't work resplice it & cut the other one.

I have a 1992 400E also. If you want me to email you pics of the installation PM me.
