Probably will do the retrofit of some essential feature like keyless entry and parking assist for the sensors. Its a painful lesson made but had think through it and let it go. It's still a Merc definitely and better than my previous. At least the Mercs is the real one.. Till now, u still haven’t state your 5 missing items lei? Carouhell is one of the place for you to search and compare for your after market stuffs.. Edited February 20, 2022 by Freeder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyless entry Parktronic Folding mirror Auto tailgate MBUX AR Sound system 225w My opinion is to 1) Sell the car (potentially make some losses), then buy the one with the specs you want. Fitting all these brings about potential issues to the electronics. 2) Live with it, I got used to the things missing from my car vs the old car, there would always be some things missing. 3) Only fit the things you feel are absolutely necessary and you must have, to minimize risk of complication. *ADDED: Don’t step into another hole by not thinking properly and asking for proper advice first (can ask here, but be discerning, try to avoid confirmation bias), the potential issues and inconveniences you might face with the wrong move is very high.

Keyless entry Parktronic Folding mirror Auto tailgate MBUX AR Sound system 225w Do not feel bad as nothing major. Most of the features are not necessary. To me only the keyless entry is a must have, Terrible feeling having to fumble for keyfob to press the unlock button is very 3rd class malu experience. Endured for 2 years so still manageable lah. But this was default under AD so no choice: Keyless entry - must have Parktronic - no need Folding mirror - good to have Auto tailgate - no need MBUX AR - no need Sound system 225w - no need but can be easily upgraded thru reputable workshops 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyless entry Parktronic Folding mirror Auto tailgate MBUX AR Sound system 225w i feel only the keyless and auto tailgate is necessary. Auto tailgate alot of after market options. Same for the sound system. If you are into ICE, aftermarket is a better option anyway. Keyless might need to buy OEM hardware and get mechanic to install. The rest i can do without. auto folding mirror is just irritating. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyless is probably impossible. you need to add sensors in all the doors and change the key etc. will be too expensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unltd 5th Gear February 21, 2022 Share February 21, 2022 I wouldn’t recommend auto tailgate, because the risk both mechanical and electrical is there. Among all the items, it is higher risk. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially kick boot opening After that it's like "wtf, I gotta get my hands grubby closing the damn thing?"....lol Anyway doesn't spoil easily one lah Edited February 21, 2022 by Soya 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne_ho 1st Gear February 21, 2022 Author Share February 21, 2022 Just back from a workshop that does such retrofit.. somehow confirmed that it's an AMG line instead of premium model. As the original retrofit was done by them. Almost all feature can be install with original parts as mentioned by them. Correction, the tailgate is electronic but no boot kicking sensor. Keyless entry and parktronic are able to install original. Question. Am I able to raise case for misrepresenting of the car advertisement ? The wording premium* 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can say it’s typo. And slowly drag it out. you did see and touch the car and yet still sign and pay. if i'm the judge, i will say the same thing. it is not as if you were not given access to the car and everything was on paper and you paid up and then saw that the car was not what it said.
