It is not present on manual cars. I bought a new lock assembly from mercedes and put it in my car (W202, 1995, only slightly different to the one shown in the video). After I discovered that my car starts again but will not let me move the gear selector out of the parking position, I got back to the mercedes dealership. Only an older mechanic could tell me, that you need to take the parts out of the old lock assembly and put it into the new one. I did not notice it, because on my new lock the ignition switch was already premoumted. And who would tear down their new part before installing?
nice intro
Thank you 😊
Nice but where’s the blue and white plastic cam inside the housing that activates the gear shift?

It depends on your car model , year and transmission
Yup just on automatic transmission as a security for the engine start in any level position
