the shifter has to be replaced.mercedes designed this as part of the vehicle security so that thieves couldn't go to a wrecking yard and get a shifter and then go and steal a car.after it's replaced the electronics in it have to be coded to your vin# by mercedes.i bought a shifter assembly for a client,fitted it and then had to tow to dealer to be coded.
