Mercedes Vito installed with an aftermarket electric power tailgate

2023 Mercedes Vito installed with an aftermarket electric power tailgate.

This power tailgate installation is compatible with most Mercedes W447 models with a tailgate from 2015 and newer. We add the switch onto the tailgate so opening and closing is possible from the rear. We also configure the Mercedes remote so opening and closing is possible remotely plus you will have the option of using the drivers door card switch for opening and closing.

This type of installation takes one day at our workshop in Bristol, UK.

2022 Mercedes AMG A45 S installed with a Autowatch Ghost 2 Immobiliser.

The Ghost 2 Immobiliser protects your car from key-cloning, hacking, and even key theft. The Ghost has no key-fobs or LED indications to give away its location. The Ghost uses the buttons in your vehicle such as those on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console, to allow you to make a unique, changeable, disarm sequence (like a PIN code) that must first be entered before you can drive your car.

This Immobiliser system will be keeping this new Mercedes AMG secure.

If you look very carefully we made a very small neat modification to the lower AMG Line bumper diffuser.

We did not need to reposition the Mercedes foot sensor for auto boot opening.
