S210 Key in ignition problem.

Did anyone mention the key batteries have no bearing on ignition function?

Don't they?

Another thought is the car battery. If the battery is low of power it may confuse the CAN when the key is inserted.

The battery is bang on. I've used the car all week so there will be plenty of charge in it. I sometimes don't use it for a month or so (esp in winter) and it always starts first time, no semblance of weekness.

Yes, we know.

So why the improved performance? Really, I'm puzzled as to the sudden and dramatic improvement.

Tell me more..

Because of the intermittent soldering issue (with the power coil most likely). Some mechanical stress on the parts while the batteries were replaced brought the solder connection back, for a while.

Owners often report that the key works if they put it into the EIS and simultaneously operate remote control. A similar case.

Do you mean the weather has improved dramatically? At this time of the year it is getting worse all the time for us.

People just put everything down to the weather this time of year...
