tried the manual but nothing was mentioned

The indicators should flash anyway with all key fobs when they are used to unlock and lock the car as far as i know

Early flip-key W202s dont, as far as im aware very eary W210's do

My Fathers 1997 E230 does - fuse or relay problem?

 

[gurpz]

i would check the fuse sounds simple enough but little things like blown fuses can stop things like this from working

Generally it is a software parameter in the setup of the car. The W202 does not give up its secrets easily.

I will try the fuse
thanks

Mine flashes twice on unlocking and once when locking, (aswell as bleeping!) also a one button flip type key.

I think thats the Neatherlands setting enabled or something. They are always going on about this feature on the US forums.

How do you enable this beeping feature then on a W202 then ?

Ah the netherlands function I had that enabled on all of my later cars

 

[PaulE230]

I wonder what mb would charge to enable it ? Or would a car alarm fitters do it ?

 

[fuzzer]

netherlands mode , you will be lucky.

I only did it because i got a workshop foreman who fancied giving it a bash for a suitable donation to his favourite charity.

Why would it be? Surely it sounds to tell you you have alarmed or disalarmed the car?

Not legal on new cars after about 1998 in the UK.

Yours isnt a very early one though!

It all depends on the coding of the PSE pump if the lights flash or you get an audible warning.

The coding can be changed with a star. It can be changed for most models also.

1996 not early enough? My 1994 L w202 also flashed......

But isn't it the beeping that's the question?
