Dear All,
Having acquired an SLK 200 one week ago it seems that I am forever posting questions on this website, accepting excellent answers to all my questions, yet contributing nothing in return. Its getting embarrassing but here I go again with a question which might put me back at loggerheads with the dodgy dealer I bought the car from.
Reading through the cars service history documentation there is a comment written in 2017 "Battery for KEYLESS-GO key replaced". Looking through the user manuals I now discover that there is reference to starting the car by means of the button which inserts into the ignition. I was not supplied with this button, neither was I made aware of it. Is this a standard feature on 2011 SLK 200s ? Or is it yet another expensive option? How do I find out whether the car had this option originally?
Is it reasonable to expect the dealer to provide this button if the car was originally equipped with it? If not where can I obtain such a button and dare I ask at what cost ( or estimated cost)?
Your advice as always would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tedfred
