I have had a couple of pocket activations and I wish I could shut off the the whole convenience thing. One heavy rainstorm or snowstorm with your windows and roof open will surely make up for any convenience you might enjoy.

Interesting, my Audi A6 will unlock from a distance but will not wind down windows until about one third of unlock distance. I'm presuming it's all RF key activated. W204 C class used IR for Windows, RF for unlock, and the IR sensors were prone to faults. I think the W205 is all RF, even though the generic key has an IR transmitter in it. Either way it's part of Keyless go package, it's not on the standard key turn ignition models, which is a retrograde step for MB. I've ordered a little door installed device which works by detecting the RF key presses and then ports to the can bus afaik to instruct the windows to open/close.
I'd imagine this could have been implemented without hardware using MB star diagnostics config tool, but there's no-one out there posting this if it has, after 4 years of deleted convenience window feature on the W205 key ignition models.

While I owned my previous car, GLA250, I had numerous instances of pocket raising of the tailgate, several instances of roof/windows. It was common enough that we had quite a large thread about it in the forum. It would seem simple enough to allow me to opt out of the auto lower/open roof function. I live in the great Northeast; we don't have much sweltering weather where you have to open the roof and windows from a distance.

I agree. It will be a while until delivery from Shenzhen. Meantime, here's install instructions.

I had some time to try installing this device. Only then did I look closely at packet and I see I have the same item number as you ending in BE05, not BE07, which is on the list used by the seller. I tried installing anyway, it did not work. I installed on the drivers door, Right hand drive car so right door. I assume this is correct, I did not open the left hand door as in the instructions. Is your car left or right hand drive. I have sent a message to the seller, and I will open a dispute if it is not satisfactory. Have you done this yet? Also, when the device was connected, my mirrors stopped folding on lock, so this is definitely not suitable.

I just tried it on my C400. Only worked through the drivers side and it lowered all my windows and opened the Pano roof!

I was able to close them all by holding the lock button.

I will try it on the left hand door before I send it back. My folding mirrors stopped working when it was on the right hand door. If they don't work then this is not acceptable even if it opens windows.

CYHY module for W250 without convenience opening.

I tried installing on the left side door. Also followed additional instructions supplied by seller, start engine for a while first, stop. Press remote 3-5 times for open windows etc. I locked, unlocked, mirrors now folding correctly on lock. Tried opening windoes but it still does not work. I will send it back and ask for LY-ZK-BE07, or refund.

I sent this back, Aliexpress approved refund, but the supplier later messaged a different address to the one on the CYHY website, which had taken an age to find as I had no documentation or invoice with the product. Another €18 to send back, tracked all the way to China, but the supplier is acting dumb and says it is the wrong address, tho the packet could be collected by the supplier at the depot. The address is almost identical, same post code and same person, so it's obviously a fly by night operation, offloading out of date stock. I may just write off the €80, and post a Black Mark for Aliexpress.

Further to this, the item was returned to me all the way from China. I had emailed supplier and told hime itemwas being held at the local post ofice, according to tracking, i gave him the tracking no. to collect. What a joke. Aliexpress just say the time for dispute is expired. Iy might work in a different spec w205. who knows.

I have w205 c200 2015 and it did not work how did it work for you?
