new C230 Coupe problem

no pulling to the right, the screen works fine, its never stalled on me.... but this morning when showing the car to a friend, i tried to activate the alarm with the panic button. Nothing but silence; same with the other remote.

keys work fine for windows, doors, sunroof. alarm goes off when i reach in and open the door when the windows are rolled down, and the car is locked. any ideas?

they have worked before, but i havent tried the panic button in a while.

tapped, held down <1 sec, held down >1 sec, with car locked, with car unlocked, from 1 ft, from 20 ft, with ir pointing at door....

nothing

seems odd that the key works fine for everything else, and from a decent distance for both rf and ir stuff

Just for everyone's information, on page 35 of the operator's manual, it says that the panic button must be held down for one second to activate the alarm.
