Dumbest Question? Could be!
Hello All,
Well, if you have seen Men in Black II by now, you have seen that sweet *** Mercedes E class. What I want to know is, is there actually a mechanism available to the public that automatically opens the doors in conjuntion with the keyless entry? If there is, I think that would be like 10 times as sweet as Lambo doors. I would think maybe it's something that could be offered for handicapped people? Help mme please! REPLY REPLY REPLY!

The new Lincoln Navigator commercials show that with the keyless entry, you can open doors, rear hatch, and lower the running boards, so the technology is available.

WHACK!!! JKJK
Well I guess then is one of those moments I may actually neeed to use some muscle and push it open.
Damn, what and inconveince!
I wonder how heavy is heavy. If the cool can outwiegh the heavy and the expensive doeesnt break 2000, it would be something to at least look into.

Pretty soon, we'll have cars that will give manicure too. WTF!
Why can't automakers stop fooling around with these BS options and make cars lighter, more efficient, safer and perform better.
Instead, all the engineers are working on who gets a power back seat that flips down by itself or some other BS. If you can't fold down a seat, you shouldn't be fit to drive.

Easy there....
It's not like I'm so handicapped that I cannot open a car door. I doubt Will Smith is either, but would it be pretty damn sweet for me to walk up to my FD, press a button and watch my doors swing out with the sound of pshhhh? I think so. I doubt that will make the car that much slower, and I'm not exactly looking into a 9 second car or anything.....

It's not that much - check some street rod magazines...it's just a strong solenoid. It won't make a sweet noise, more like a knocking sound...I wouldn't recommend it for an FD unless you're just for show 
But it is nice, maybe you could shave the door handles too.

Not really a solenoid, but a small electric motor geared properly in order to be able to open such a heavy object just how properly geared electric RC motors are used for driving driverless stunt cars.

Yes, gullwing=psychocool.... My dad has a gull wing car, a 1970 bricklin if you know what it is.....Painted VR hehehe.....I was thinking though, you would need a big parking space to get out in those..... I think that this could seriously be done. I mean I tihnk you could even use the type of thing that opens the hatch of an FD. All hatch openers are roughly the same. I think a type of shave door handles combined with this setup would do it, as long as you could find someboddy proficient in remote control technology to get the code of these things to make em work. And you would still be abale to open it manually. It's all very interesting.....

look at a truckin magazine... they have all types of kits.
If you shave the door handles, they have something they put down under the door on the underside of the car that you have to pull that pops the door open...

HAHAHA - SiKoPaThX - that's crazy that your dad has a Bricklin! Do you have any pics of it?! My dad also has one he bought a few years back - it's great. The guy he bought it from custom did everything, it's a beautiful show car. It's just funny to see someone on the forum that has one since they're so limited, plus it was Canadian :-P...hahaha j/k Where did he buy his?
Also, for anyone looking, here is a link to a good company for shaved doors and solenoids to open them:

I'm not sure where he bought it right now, I'll have to ask him but he's had it since at least 92, it sits though 
Everyone is trying to convince him but hes not very mechanically inclined. I would gfuess it has about 5000 in repairs. So sad, the car kicks tremendous ***!
