I was reading your post about how the keyless go system works. I just bought my car and I can't get me key to be recognized. when I touch the door handle it says "key not recognized" keyless remote works but not when I touch the door handle. Also, the KG shift knob was replaced with non KG (probably at the auto auction). So, I am buying a used KG shift knob. I just bought a brand new keyless go key from the dealer which does not unlock via touching the door handle either. My questions are:
1) do I have to go to the dealer to get the keys reprogrammed?
2) should I wait to install the KG shift knob before getting the keys programmed
3) can I do a reset on the system without messing up other things?
I realllllllly appreciate any help or advice you can give. I have owned an s class for about 6 years but this is my first keyless go and I hope I can get it to work.
thanks in advance!
