How do you open the trunk remotely on a car with comfort access?? Do you need to pull on the handle?? I'd miss the remote opening if it's not possible.
Also, what about unlocking the rear doors so I can put my bag in the back seat - how does it know which doors to unlock?? If my wife is being approached by some scumbag is it going to unlock all the doors and let him in?

To remotely open trunk, or unlock doors, use key as normal. Once inside press start/stop button (or use key as usual).

The good thing is you can choose.....you don't need to use the comfort access, you can still use the "key" to open the boot remotely or similar by pushing the button on the key....For me, a doctor, I make housecalls and am in and out the car like a fiddlers elbow so in this situation, I'd use the C/A but when out and about with Mrs Diesel and the 3 master diesels, I'd just use it like a standard remote.....its a convenience thing...just like auto lights and wipers....I'd miss them now I'm used to them

I agree it's a convenience...but a very expensive one (at least for MB--we'll see for BMW).? For a few hundred dollars I get it again, but not for $1,000.
