Hi Guys,
I have been experiencing problems unlocking my 55 plate E320 using the fob. I fitted new batteries to both keys but had to place the fobs right up to the tiny window on the drivers door handle, and even then it was very fussy about recognising the code etc. I also noticed that the Radio signal strength was reduced too with noticeable fading and interference audible. The fobs themselves have always worked fine in the ignition. I had used the key sometimes to unlock the door [and the alarm then sounds until the fob is in the ignition]. This seemed to be a fairly solid fault until the recent warm weather when everything suddenly went back to normal and the fobs would work from 50 metres away ! I am left with an intermittent problem it seems but also noted the radio was fine too when the fob "works". I have checked all of the many fuses spread around the car - I guess there is an Aerial Amplifier module somewhere ? and is the Remote locking part of its' function too ?
Any advice appreciated.
