2000 S-Class infrared remote keyless entry

Hello!<br>
I have a 2000 S500 and I just found a possible security flaw in the benz. I was able to program the frequency of the infrared beam into my palm pilot. I was then able to use the palm pilot to unlock the car!<br>
I could only do this unlock once, since after locking it the second time, the code is rotated and I have to reprogram it. But, in my opinion, ONCE is one time too many.<br>
One would expect a better security on a car of this stature... I remember reading an article sometime back when MB first started using this particular key, and they said that they fixed this problem... I'll be calling my dealer tomorrow. <br>
