2007 C230 Tint and Remote Key FOB Issue
Hello Everyone.
Here is my issue :
1. Got windows tinted (solar Guard ) 5% at the back and the rear window and 25% on the front.
2. Everything worked for 1 day ( i mean remote )
3. RF on the remote stopped working
4. AM/FM works fine
5. IR works intermittently. I have never used it before but if i press the key 5-6 times it starts working.
6. Repalce the ket batteries and the issue still persists.
Any suggestions? I read on the forums that the antenna adapter could be the problem but wont AM stop working if that was the issue?
Is there a separate antenna for remote?

I would say your tint guy fried or cut something (very common)
Search on here and you will find tons of people who had this issue.
But you say it worked for a day?

Thanks
SO... after 2.5 weeks, all is ok.
Magically the key started to work. The only explanation i can think of is that there was probably some kind of short caused by moisture or water and it just toook time to vapourize in this texas heat.
But that must have been a lot of water.... it was wayy to hot here for the past couple of weeks....
Thanks for all the help guys..!!!
