When using the skeleton key to gain entrance to the car The hole under the handle is used to remove the plastic cover which then reveals a normal lock.
Great video! I’ve just recently bought my first ever Mercedes (2018 glc 250 D AMG line) I keep both my keys in a Rfid box but I never knew they did all these ‘tricks’ so thanks for all the info 👍
Good vid. I’ve just bought my 5th C Class and the salesman at the dealership didn’t even know about tip 1. Unbelievable. He was amazed when I told him. This should be the first thing they tell you with all the relay thefts that happen nowadays. With my spare key I just take the battery out of it....
No problem David, Just a heads up the key removes the door handle surround then you access the key slot. Also check out my othet videos to show how to start the engine using a dead keyfob :)
Is there a way to remote start the engine with your key? I know you can do it on the app, but I'm wondering if there's a way with the key. It's really useful for those of us who live in places with rough winters where you need to heat the car up a few minutes before getting going.
I just subscribed to this channel. It is very well done. I will not repeat the obvious in the comments below. What I really like is that you can forward or reverse using the slider on the time bar at the bottom of the screen. It has a description of what the gentleman on the video is saying. Thanks for the tips! Also, I discovered that I can lower all the windows using the driver's side door handle. When you unlock the car without using the key (approaching with the key in your pocket), just keep your hand on the handle and pull without opening the door. -Maybe you can do a vlog about it?
@@ABAUTOAMG Thank you for your note. I am flattered that you noticed my comment. I owed a 2010 GLK350 4MATIC, replaced by a 2015. This week I am buying a used 2014 GLK250-Diesel. In the garage I keep a 2007 CLK350 Cabrio with only 60K miles, it is fun in the summer. Used to have also a 2012- C300 class and 2014-E350 class, but sedan is not my style. Best Regards, Julio
Great simple tips. However, I think the music in between is way too loud, compared to the volume of your voice. I feel like between every tip, im getting blasted with music. lol
Okay Im impressed. I own a stage 1 (w204) C200 cgi, and I thought to unlock all doors you always had to press twice! The thing worked. Unfortunately the windows dont come down by themselves but at least I learned something new. Thank you!
Great video! Question- first tip tells you how to “turn off” your key fob but how do you turn it back “on”? When it’s “off” does that mean that you can’t use keyless entry when you approach your vehicle?
Thanks! Yep it disables keyless entry till you press the unlock key. Once you press unlock it resets the key back to normal. It's to stop people piggybacking your key signal to steal your car.
@@ABAUTOAMG First off, as a video producer, I commend you on how professional your video is! I understand how this could prevent piggybacking the key signal to open your car, but would the car actually turn on or be able to be driven if a thief tries to drive off while the key is in MY possession? I know I can't even turn mine on if the car doesn't sense that the key is in close enough proximity.
I have a nice RFID blocking box i throw my keys and wallet in! Great video! I just got a 2018 C43 2-door coupe and love it! I'm going to try some of these.
The key does have an integrated gyroscope. It will automatically disable the keyless functionality while it is not moving anymore. This also safes some battery :)
Trick #4 and the skeleton key : That IS NOT the keyhole.... You put your key in that hole and pry upwards, and the keyhole COVER pops out! Under it is a normal doorlock
Nice video, Thanks for sharing! Feedback: try not to have such high volume in the music or sound effects during transitions. Its uncomfortable to have to increase the volume during your talk time and then JUMP and lower the volume when you play music because is too loud! Just an observation to bring to your attention! Try to keep a good balance of the volume of audio during the whole video. Keep up the good work!
Also, lubricate your locks now and then especially if you have an older MB. I had to fight 2 hours with my W220 trunk when the battery died. Luckily the key didn't snap.
Very informative and Big Thanks for the tips. They should share these tips at the Dealership! I taught myself to let the windows down by accident last shmmer. I just hate that I have to be so close to let the windows down. Usually Blieu is in the garage home but when I’m out shopping 🛍 walking back, Omgoodness it HOT here in New Orleans! I’d like to be able bring them down before I get in to let the heat out. Thanks again! 👍🏽 & ✅
Cool video, mate. One thing you forgot to mention is how to re-enable back the key once you disable it with the double click feature. Is it going back to working state by double clicking the unlock button, or the lock button? 2nd thing - please, pay attention to the *much* louder music and your voice. The jumps in the levels can get a heart attack to someone.
thanks for the great tips mate, picking my a200amg up tomorrow and you are a great help, i also found on my online manual page 64 tells you how to disable the keys...guess a lot dont read them
It’s a coin style battery. It’s not rechargeable but very easy to swap out and they are cheap (under £5 for 2). Mercedes do replace the key battery during a service B normally too.
I wanna add something to tip 4, the key hole you see there isn't the one which unlocks your door handle, that whole thing is merely the cover for the real keyhole,and the way you remove the cover is tricky as well,when you insert the key into the hole,don't rotate it,just shove it hard enough for the cover to pop out its slot and remove it
BTW, if you hold your left leg up and hold the LOCK button for 2 seconds with your right hand, the glove compartment will open. It is really cool. WOW!!!
In case no one else has mentioned it, you can not only open your boot with the key, but (on cars sold into Australia in recent years at least), you can close it by pressing the same button. Would like to know if when the key is disabled, if you can remove the backup / manual key , then lock the electronic key in the car or boot, for when you’re at the beach and don’t want to leave the remote key on the beach while you swim, but are ok hanging the backup key around your neck or in your trunk pockets. My car won’t let me shut the boot with the electronic key in there for obvious reasons but provided you have the manual key with you, you should be able to override this . Will disabling it achieve this ?
It happened to me the c300 2022.. accidentally I double click the clock button and couldn’t open the door, called the dealership they knew it but keep telling me to toll the car to dealer. Lucky me I found this video . Thx save me $$$ a lot
Great tips and cool video I wish I watched this video before I purchase my benz! It is very helpful... now I am having a dilemma and I hope you'll answer back with some resolution. I pressed my lock button a few times and it disable not just my keyless function but also folding the side mirrors when I lock the door. Any suggestion how I can reset/enable this functions again? Thanks!
Hi Mylyn, I've not come across this myself but can hopefully help. Which model and year car do you have? It may be a glitch and you just need to go into the settings inside the car menu and re-enable folding mirrors. It may also be called parking mirrors in the options.
@@ABAUTOAMG Thanks for the tip it actually works after I re-enabled the folding mirrors from the car settings. However, the keyless function is still out of commission.
Normally, your MB’s lights will blink 3 times when you lock your car. When you disable the fob, the lights will blink 4 times. Idk why they zoomed in on the fob light that you can never see. Look in the background and you see the hazard lights blink four times.
I realize I am late to comment on your video, but just the same, thank you for the information. Also, as you asked, the pouch you talked about could be called a faraday pouch or faraday cage. Someone else probably already made mention of this, but I wasn't going to look through 591 comments to find it.
Great video 👍 I have a question? After you disable the spare key from sending out signals, how exactly do you go about reactivating the key again to start sending out a signal???
I loved the video so much, so many helpful tips. I tried the first tip where you deactivated the key and reset it by unlocking as you say in some of the other comments, however, I cant seem to get the Keyless go working again
@@MultiBadger32 if your key looks like one in this video its the new key.. If you have a 2020 merc it will be definitely be this new one.. Mercedes did great job sorting this out unlike other manufacturers
