This is the best information I've ever found on the internet!!! I could see that the top of the key should come apart, but couldn't work out how to get it apart! You are brilliant and a very generous person to take the time to make the video clip! Thank you sooo very much!!

Great video, how can anyone dislike this super clear video. Just a tip if others have this issue my contacts weren't great even after a new battery I had issues, using some WD40/CRC I cleaned the inner and outer contacts and inside the fob where the + & - terminals make contact, now it's like new.

You have saved my day with this. Dropped keys in a puddle -soaked. Had to walk home thinking the worse, key key fob etc. Found your vid, took key fob apart now slowly drying out. Will give it some new batteries as well. I just hope my attempt at getting the fob to work by pressing the buttons whilst it was wet hasn't damaged the circuit board. Many thanks again 👋👍

***** So I changed the batteries in the remote, but, I'm still not able to get it to work the way it's supposed to. The reason I changed the batteries was because I couldn't get my car to unlock unless I pointed the front of the remote directly at the IR receiver on the door handle at a distance of not more than an inch or two. Still getting the same issue even after changing the batteries...
@ultimatehandyman
@ultimatehandyman 10 жыл бұрын
Naveed Khan Were the new batteries good quality ones? Sometimes if you buy cheap ones they are not so good. I'd try a new pair of batteries and if it's still not working you might need to take it to a Mercedes specialist to find out if it's the key fob or the receiver that is faulty.

So the battery should be fine. I guess the old key electric inside maybe damaged? When i press the buttons the key led light up for a sec. So it send a sign, but not the right one what the car requires. Is it a way to reprogram it to send the right sign?

+Janet Williams I don't think that is true to be honest, but I'm not 100% certain.I know that when the battery is flat the keyfob will not open the doors, you have to use the metal key. But once inside the engine will still start using the key with the flat battery. I'm pretty sure he is wrong though. It is a quick job replacing the batteries ;-)

Tom K You are welcome ;-) I don't know much about replacement keys other than you can buy blank ones but they need programming to your vehicle, I do not know how easy this is or if it can be done without special knowledge. I bought my spare key from the main Mercedes dealer, I had to take in my log book and the key was ready for collection the next day. I can't remember the exact price but think it was about £150 - £200

just a simply query, my key fob has worn out, and is cracking up. would you know if I can replace the key fobs with a second hand unit? or would i need to go to the dealership?

Hi. I changed the battery exactly as you said but it’s still not working. The +are facing upwards for both. The led light is not coming on. Or opening the doors. Could it be that I left it too long before changing the battery and now need to computerise it with my car.

If the Led light is not coming on, I would first check that the batteries are not faulty. If the batteries are good, the key fob is probably faulty. I'm not sure how long it takes for the key to lose it's code- but I would imagine the code would be stored indefinitely in the key, regardless of the batteries being flat.

Does the red blinking really mean batteries dead? I changed on both keys, still blinking.
