Keyless entry W204 C63

[Boots1]

Hi has anyone any thoughts or recommendations on how to disable keyless entry to prevent scan theft

Does it not tell you how to do this in the vehicle manual?

Its not a new car, good chance it doesn't have a manual with it but should be able to download one off tinternet

Keep the key in a metal tin.

You can't use a biscuit tin or similar because the coating of plastic prevents a full Faraday cage being formed.

I use a small stainless steel tin bought off ebay I think.

Test your solution by taking the tin next to the car and see if the door will open.

I used a faraday bag for my last car

Double click the fob when locking and keep the key(s) in a tin or faraday pouch.
You'll need to use the fob to open the car next time though as you have disabled keyless entry with a double click on the fob.

As above, double click the lock button disables keyless entry, newer mercs disable it automatically if the key has not been moved for 2 minutes.
