Not worth $575 - too expensive. I lived with mine broken for a year and luckily I was able to locate a C230 with IR door handle being parted out on mbworld. Check out other forums as well. You'll never know
they may have the part you need.

The driver side transponder/transmitter with the red and green light for the keyless is busted. Stealership quoted $575, for parts! That's not including labor and whatever else they decided to throw in the mix! For $575 I can get a top of the line viper alarm and still have enough left over for some stripper money. So do you know of anyone?
