Hey guys, my W211 remote keys works just fine when start engin, lock and unlock all doors. But when parking for an hour or more, the remote keys cannot open or lock doors. Remote red light still blinks, key fob batteries are good, but no respond from the doors. Need to take out small key to open door. Anybody can help?
p/s, i’ve changed the radio to android player last two days.

Possibly disconnected the aerial for the remote. Can lock when leaving the car as the system is still awake, but shut down / asleep after an hour.
Has this problem only started since changing the unit ?

Yes, this problem occured after changing the unit. So what is the solution? I’ve tried all day. The fuse also fine. Maybe it connected with the radio antenna?

I think it will or would have been connected to the antenna. Not sure how you could connect it up though as probably part of the original unit.

I am sure someone will have a definitive answer or solution as many people must have replaced units.
