An outstanding question that I have absolutely no answer to largely based upon the following:
While I have had a fairly good life considering the possibilities, one bit of misfortune that has befallen me is having to delve DEEPLY into the factory-installed alarm system on my 1985 300D. Especially deeply into the locking-alarm assemblies in the doors. In a gesture to politeness, I will only say this: Whoever designed the alarm switch for the locing system...I know it was the early 1980s, but please, that's some especially weird doings.
Personally, and this is coming from someone who has spent around three decades working on the W123-617, knowing what I know, I am either too gutless or too wise to consider fooling around anymore with the vehicle's locking system. Too much like cardiac surgery - far too crazy for me.
These two URLS appear to be the same and yield the same information. ???
Bottom line for me? Each time I use my master key to lock/unlock my vehicle, I am grateful and peacefully go along my way in life.
Your mileage, as the phrase goes, may vary.

Oops, late night insomnia posting. Fixed it.
The earlier part is a bit sobering. The keyless entry thing is handy but you have to ask yourself if spending hours and hours to make one happen is worth the seconds you save each day when you open the car.
On my SDL, the driver door cartridge went bad, I considered that a keyless system would cost less and be nifty so off I went. I always carred the original door key (different from ignition) as it still worked the passenger door and trunk (sort of on the latter). Would be stupid to be stuck out of your car because your remote battery went out.
