Yes I know, but OCD is irrational I have to place the card a few yards away then walk back and check the door, lol. I'm a compulsive double checker of things.
Just found this thread, I've just bought that SL55 and the funny thing is my other car is an MR2 turbo with identical set up to the one described by the OP!
