Problem with Key
I have the standard black w203 keys. I have one and my wife the other, when we bought the car the keys worked equally. No difference between them.
Since I am the primary driver for this car, my key has seen more abuse than hers and has developed cracks on the Open and Lock buttons. Then one day when I unlocked the car, all 4 doors unlocked, instead of only the drivers door.
I contributed this to the cracked key because my wife's key works like it did from the dealer.
I bought a new MB key shell, transferred the electronics from one key to the other (installed fresh batteries in too) and the key works great, except for the key unlocks all the doors instead of the drivers door only.
I have tried numerous ideas to fix this and nothing works.
How can I stop all four doors unlocking when only the driver door should be unlocked?
Also at one time both keys were able open and close the windows and sunroof with the key. Neither key can do this function now. Any thoughts?

Well this is easy you enable the unlock of all doors with your key but not hers. Simple setting change you hold down the lock and unlock for like 10 seconds and it switches back and forth it is in the owner’s manual.
Second issue is the ir sensor in the door probably went out don't bother trying to fix to expensive.

1- Selective set up : will open the driver door with the first CLICK , the 2nd CLICK will open all doors and trunk .
2- Global set up : One CLICK will open all doors and trunk .
So , you must have changed the selective to Global , you can change back to selective as was explained ubove.
