infrared

Is it possible to change from infrared to radio? Maybe a module from later c class models?

I see a lot of Paint/Body shops are using Infrared Lamps over Bake Ovens to cure the paint. What are the pro's/cons of the Infrared Lamps ? Are they any better than Bake Ovens ?

Hi My mum's W202 C180's IR Remote Control has stopped working after battery change. The IR LED lights up on button press, but the doors do not lock/unlock (and no red/green light). The doors lock and unlock perfectly with the spare remote though. How come the doors refuse to respond to the...

As part of sorting out the remote central locking on my '94 R129, I needed to know how to synchronise the infra-red key fob to the car. I found four different options (and if anyone has any more, please add them): Method One: (THIS WORKED ON MINE) Point the transmitter at any door/boot...

My W140 400SEL lived outside until after a few years I had a new garage/workshop built, large enough, to house it. Now I spend a good deal of my time keeping all the toys working. However, as soon as it was brought inside, the remote stopped working. New batteries, no fault codes. No bad...

Hello Forum, I'd need another ignition key for each commercial vehicle in the fleet as sometimes keys fail and drivers should get a spare when they are out. Merc charges some £160 / key! That's a bad deal as one can get blank (unprogrammed key) for a few quid. But as far as I know...

Hi Guys, My first post on here, just trying to get some insight from someone in the know. I have a 2005 C-Class C220 CDI Coupe (W203). Car runs great and its a pleasure to drive (especially over longer distances) but I've had tons of minor issues with it over the last month or two (perhaps...

While playing with a digital camera in the car (W221) I noticed a bank of bright lights just to the left of the nav screen. They are invisible to the eye, so must be IR I would imagine. They are directed towards the passenger seat, and are lit up even with the ignition off and the doors...

Anyone know if the Factory fitted one also an immobiliser or just alarm? And is it so called "Thatcham category" ?? Need to satisfy my classic insurance on my E500 and I really don't want to fit an after-market one:mad: Cheers! Bing

My key fob is clearly wireless. Even when in my pocket the doors can be unlocked etc. But on the drivers door handle and on the front of the key fob there appears to be an infra red window. Why? I have not seen any other car that has both. Wireless alone is normally sufficient for all...

HELP NEEDED!!!! on my 91 sl I can lock the car with the key but the remote locking wont work by pressing the key fob.If I put the ignigtion switch in poss.. 2 then the remote works with the key fob, I've been told to disconnect the multi pin sockets to the modules in the boot and clean contacts...

Hi Guys, Want to retrofit the infrared central locking to my present manual key operated central locking on my car. would need: all the wiring, driverside handle IR sensor passenger side lock (manual) boot lock IR with sensor ignition barrel glovebox lock Spare key fob Cheers.

Hi Guys.....does anyone know how to replace the door sensor? I've got a replacement part but I can't figure out how to get to the old one. Does the door card have to come off? :dk: TIA.

Hi, this isn't really a problem, more a niggle. I have a W124, 1994, with option 880 infrared remote locking and alarm, but the key fob has no loop for a keyring - it's just a chunk of plastic, too easily lost for my liking. My part number is 140 760 0306, so I'm assuming the same...

My 124 has the above option on the car. I have since fitted an aftermarket alarm for more security and for the handy remote engine start :p The original infra-red key, when directed at the boot and the button pressed, opens the boot? There is a little green and red light sensor on the...

When I bought my E230 it only came with 1 remote key, and after reading stories of the dire consequences if this got lost, I decided to order a new key. That will be £170.38 Sir, but I only want the one says I, not a glimmer of a smile was the response. Still, needs must, and it takes a week.

I've bought an E280 fitted with option 880 - closing system with infrared remote control (с 01.02.1988) fitted to the boot & driver's door & it doesn't work. The batteries in the 2 keys were a long time dead when I bought the car & I installed new batteries, reviving one key. I tried re...

Having just picked up my 1995 N plater (the one with the red/green led lights on the driver's and boot locks), one of the remotes was dead. Put new batteries in it, red light tester on key comes on okay. Used the good remote to open the doors. Followed the instruction and put the dead...
