Remote Locking Update

I still haven't solved my remote locking problem, but I have more data. I have tried both the factory synchronization procedure and the alternate procedure posted here, with no success. When using the factory procedure, whichever button I press after holding lock and pressing unlock five times works. Then nothing else works. When using the alternate procedure, nothing works. I bought a Carsoft tester and the AAM is reporting code B1858, "fixed code OK but not released". My MB maintenance DVD says this is a transmitter problem or a synchronization problem, or an antenna problem. One member here reported that changing the AAM fixed this problem. I'm inclined to believe that the problem is in the AAM as whichever button I press after pressing unlock 5 times works, the system just won't synchronize. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Al

With all due respect, I thought the subject line was pretty clear. That would seem to exclude the first post you asked about. The second one you listed basically had no help for this problem, and focused on the key removal problem. The third post you listed had no replies.

So what is the point of your reply to this post? This is an ongoing problem, and I was looking for some help from, what has been in the past, a helpful venue. Unfortunately none of the previous responses I got were of much help. Since then I purchased a set of diagnostic software. The troubleshooting steps in the Star Service DVD aren't much help (it's either the key, the AAM, or a synchronization problem) , so I reported the code here hoping someone might have more insight to my problem. BTW, I contacted my local indy repair shop and he says he can't help with a potential AAM problem, that's a dealer only item. Can you help me with this problem, or not?
