How does the keyless unlock work on a Mercedes Benz?
Keyless unlocking works, the key is detected inside the car and can be used to start the engine etc., but the start/stop button on the shift knob is dead. I realized that the button kind of works once when sliding the knob onto the shifter – either the ignition is turned on or the engine started during the sliding movement.
What should I do if my keyless entry is not working?
When your keyless entry isn’t working, of course the worst case scenario will be if your auto locks need to be replaced. But before we go down that road, there’s still something to rule out. If your battery is OK, the next least-worrisome problem to have would be a memory card issue.

What causes a car key to stop working?
Often the transponder chip is housed in a bit of plastic, covering the bow/thumbturn of your key. If the blade of your car key protrudes out of an attached remote, the transponder chip is likely in the remote. This chip can be damaged, or the receiver for its signal can stop working.
