So, you see this beautiful Lexu- I mean Infiniti above, its gorgeous isn’t it. With its sleek crossover line, you would never expect this beautiful piece of Japanese engineering to actually be a beautiful piece of German engineering

As many of you may know, the Infiniti QX30 is based on the same platform as the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class. Now you might be thinking “if its basically the same car, does it have the same tech” and to that, I would answer: NO. The Infiniti and the Mercedes share most of the same tech, in fact, the Infiniti might even have some more tech

This above is the Infiniti’s key fob, Of course it looks like the mercedes key fob. But there’s something amiss, but what is it?

This is the MERCEDES key fob, have you found the difference, ill tell you: its missing the whole power trunk button. I noticed this while looking at my Mom’s ML350's fob. Why would Infiniti just remove that button. If they kept it, it probably could have saved them money. Also, why did they replace that small peace of chrome on the bottom of the fob if they were just going to leave the rest of it?

Who knows, maybe I’m making a big deal out of nothing.

Seriously, and why did they take off the buttons for the sliding doors?

1. Is that a Nissan fob?

2. If you’re implying that every fob is the same, you’re a clever girl/guy

Its a Diamler Fob used on a town and country. i.e. Diamler uses that fob all over the place just adding and subbing buttons.

90% certain that is a dodge caravan/chrysler t&c fob.

I don’t think all Mercedes have a power trunk... this key fob already existed. What I’m surprise with is that it doesn’t have keyless start

Yeesh, was the Daimler name tarnished that much by FCA? (If there was ever a time for Sergio to respond its now)

Not all have power tailgates. Many GLA’s don’t. That’s part of what makes it entry level. The ML is not every level.

Those fobs are enormous compared to Mercedes ones. Look the same, by they’re probably 25% larger. Pretty sure the tech in them is ten years behind too. Believe it or not, I’m not just trying to talk shit here. It’s just weird how different they are for looking so similar.

I see what you mean, but still, I would think a mercedes, any mercedes would have that

Same source just older

There were even some ML’s and R’s sold without! That’s what I really find strange. But not everyone wants to pay for that feature I guess. Or lots of other features for that matter. You can get the current C with a power closing trunk, but maybe only 5-10% have it.

Yeah. I’m pretty sure it’s a reskinned version of what we had circa 99-00. We had larger fobs then.

Yup. Just pointing out that key fobs get around these days

I really like those wheels... Very Ferrari-esque with the stars.
