the service guy said no, and even regular Challengers w/ a regular key could not be converted, so maybe check with the MB folks, because that's what you have.

But I figured that somebody here might know better than most of those guys. if it ain't in the book, they don't do it. Other than the security issue, I can't believe that it is rocket science, basically just wires to the starting system and to the sensors for the dashlight up. The security thing may be a real PITA, but other than that I can't believe it'd be that hard if they have remote starters you can add on.

Question 2) Anybody figure out a way to keep the water off the wipers from flowing back into the cracked open window on a rainy day? We have no drip rail, so the water just rolls off the roof and into the car. That's annoying.
