Hi,
I have a 2001 model CDI 200 and my central locking does not work from far ! Ive changed the remote key batteries but still it opens only when i point it at a foots distance from the drivers door only ! Even the cars radio seems to have developed a poor radio signal ! can someone tell me what the problem is ?? i assume that the car's radio antena reception is weak. Can someone tell me where the antena goes after it leaves the head unit behind the dash ? Is there a power antena signal booster hidden somnewhere ?? This is driving me mad !!

Hello all,
1st post
, been doing a bunch of reading and research here. Bought a W203 a week ago and trying to resolve the central locking issue. Sedan car
IR works, new batteries in fobs. One new fob, one original - original IR does not work
#8 fuse OK, replaced anyway
FM radio signal fine, AM is so-so (but I guess thats normal?)
Car had a flat battery before I bought it, ex-owner replaced it (something here?)
Car has a tint - ex-owner says the RF still worked after tinting
I would greatly appreciate any help!
