sl500

I currently have this key - But it looks a little scratched and I was wondering if it could be easily changed to this style one? Any help or advice is appreciated.

I am toying with the idea of getting the car remapped after its had its secondary cats removed. Has anyone had their car done? I'm more interested in how it drove afterwards ie. was the response sharper etc after the map and was the overall drive changed in anyway?

Have a 2002 SL500 and as soon as I turn the ignition key the radio picks up some interference. It isn't the aircon fan or anything else I can hear. It is constant too and does not vary with speed. Does anyone know of a motor that runs as soon as the ignition is turned on. Many thanks ****

I am sorry to say that I have really struggled with the SL500. I just haven't been able to bond with it. Not sure exactly why, I think it is a number of reasons. I struggle to enjoy driving with the roof down. Although it isn't too windy, it is very noisy, especially at speed. Also, in traffic...
