Hi, I would like to find out if it is possible to install a keyless entry system on my 81 300SD (vacuum system). Do you sell any system or can you recommend anyone that would?

thanks

Even though the system operates off of vacuum, there is an electric pump to supply the system. So yes it isn't too hard to adapt a keyless system to your car.
I'm sure BENZMAC has installed this systen into several cars like yours!

As a matter of fact, I have! We will be offering the kit soon here on this website! E-mail me and I will put you on the list.

My 86 300E also has the MB standard vacuum lock system (expensive to manufacture, expensive to repair, and outdated). When I had a keyless entry/alarm system installed, I wanted to avoid wiring into the vacuum pump for fear screwing it up by the unusual operation. Instead, my installer hooked up a cheap electric solenoid to the door lock in the driver's door - initiation of the system now treats the signal as if a key was being used. It has worked fine for 2 years, and the installer has used it on every MBenz that he has since worked on.

THE BENZMAC DOES NOT AGREE WITH ADDING ACTUATORS TO YOUR CAR!!! I HAVE SEEN TO MANY INTERFERENCE PROBLEMS WITH THIS IF THE INSTALLER IS NOT TOP NOTCH!!! AND MOST AREN'T.
