I have a 1996 MB SL600 that I am removing the engine trans and computers from to put in another car. In my reading I have found that this car has a Vehical Authorization System that includes coded engine computers and electronic links to the ignition switch and rearview mirror IR reciever and God know what else.

My question is, since I wont be installing the rearview mirror or the ignition switch from the SL600, will I not be able to start my car. What are the minimum requirments needed to start (or be authorized to start my car). Is there any work arounds like jumping wires I should consider.
