I thought it would be in the shroud with the siren, but to my demise when I got the fender liner off it was not there  .
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.! |
Replacing theft related parts is not just plug and play. If the car you are getting the control unit from was at any time stolen and tagged in Mercedes system the computer will give a warning next time the car is plugged in and shortly after that a whole bunch of men wearing black uniforms and carrying guns will show up and lead you away. Crime: fencing stolen goods.
If you order the part new the Mercedes dealership has to sync it to your car.
