Mercedes-Benz GLA Keyless Go Upgrade Review

Mercedes-Benz GLA: Elevating Driving Convenience with Keyless Go

Imagine starting your Mercedes-Benz GLA220D without ever reaching for your smart key. The convenience of Keyless Go is a feature many owners desire, and at Today's Car Seocho, we make it a reality through a dedicated Keyless Go tuning service. Experience the seamless operation of doors locking and unlocking simply by touching the door handle. Let's explore how this enhancement is achieved.

How Keyless Go is Installed on a Mercedes-Benz

The core principle of our Keyless Go installation is preserving the vehicle's original state. Unlike typical modifications, we avoid damaging the existing wiring. Instead, we integrate genuine parts by inserting new pins into the original harness. This method ensures the car's electrical system remains intact, allowing for easy restoration to its original condition if ever needed.

The installation process involves replacing the driver and passenger door handles with new units. Following the physical replacement, vehicle coding is performed to activate the Keyless Go functionality. We meticulously verify compatibility during the coding phase, ensuring immediate and flawless operation post-installation.

Experiencing Keyless Go Functionality

The Keyless Go system on the Mercedes-Benz GLA is designed for intuitive use. Simply approach the door handle, and the doors automatically lock. Grasp the handle, and the doors unlock. There's no need to retrieve your smart key; all operations can be managed with just your hands while the key remains in your pocket or bag.

This feature significantly enhances convenience, especially during cold weather or when your hands are full. Whether carrying groceries or a child, door operation becomes effortless. You'll also notice a subtle, satisfying sound confirming the system's activation each time you interact with the door handle.

Keyless Go Installation Cost and Time

For the Mercedes-Benz GLA220D, the typical cost for Keyless Go installation ranges from approximately 1.5 million to 2.5 million Korean Won. The final price can vary based on factors such as the need for painting the new door handles to match the vehicle's color. This cost generally includes parts, labor, and coding. We recommend obtaining a precise quote from Today's Car beforehand.

The installation typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, encompassing door handle replacement, painting, and vehicle coding. While same-day completion is often possible, allowing for paint drying time, it's advisable to schedule with some flexibility. A key advantage is that all functions are usable immediately after installation, as no original wiring is altered.

Maintaining Your Keyless Go System

Since Keyless Go is integrated using genuine parts and coding, it requires no special maintenance. Regular car washes, with gentle cleaning of the door handles, are sufficient. It's advisable to avoid excessive water or dirt buildup on the sensor areas of the door handles to ensure long-term, stable performance.

The typical lifespan for the Keyless Go functionality exceeds 8 years, and the door handles themselves are highly durable. However, recoding might be necessary following vehicle software updates. Maintaining communication with the installation provider for such updates is recommended.

Who Should Consider Keyless Go for Their GLA?

We highly recommend this upgrade for individuals who prioritize convenience in their daily lives, especially those with lifestyles requiring frequent use of their hands. It's particularly beneficial for easily operating doors in thick winter clothing. Furthermore, it's an excellent choice for enhancing the premium feel of a modern Mercedes-Benz.

However, it's important to note that as a sensor-based system, extreme cold temperatures can potentially affect performance.
