and i lock the car by pressing the keyfob button, unfortunatley i couldnt get the immobiliser off again. im going to order a key for the mercedes garage tomorrow but right now im car'less.
Anyone know if there is a manual overide or a sequence to do in order to get the car to start?

thanks...

As you have a digital camara you can check the remote keyfob by pressing it in front of a camara you will see the light when you press it.

You would think that after he took the fob apart the first time he would have learnt his lesson ;)

No otherwise what would the point be of having an immobiliser. Also if a work around was posted anyone with access to a computer could read the post and happiliy steal MB's all day long.

I hope you had a good deal, as you are looking at a few bills already. You will need tax this month as well.

Why am I suspicious, I see a camera phone photograph of a badly parked Mercedes in what looks to be a public carpark. The first post is how to disable the immobiliser so it can be driven. Does anyone else hear alarm bells :confused:
