Keyless Go starts/stops engine, but won't lock/unlock doors anymore
Just picked up a CLS55 the other night, and the keyless go was working fine. Then this morning, for some reason, it will still start/stop engine but won't lock doors when I push the button on the door handle, or unlock when I grasp the handle. Does this on both driver and passenger's side door. I changed a bunch of settings last night, thought maybe that was what did it... I reset settings to factory, but the problem hasn't gone away.
Any ideas? I read a few other threads that sounded like the same problem, but no solution was found...

Good idea, I just remembered the car's still under manufacturer's warranty (so used to buying used cars and having no warranty...)! I tested a little further, it seems that some door switches work some times, depending on location, but the driver's one almost never works. I replaced the batteries in the key, but now it doesn't work at all (!), so off to the dealer it goes tomorrow 
I just can't get over how awesome this car is, to even care about taking it back to the dealer on the first day

Didn't know there's a service key, I'll ask the dealer about it when I take it to them tomorrow...

Actually, while we're on the subject of KG, I don't suppose anybody has successfully disabled the annoying "Don't forget your key" beep when opening the door? It sounds like maybe either the instrument cluster can be flashed to newer version, or somebody with stardiagnose can fix it (where can I find somebody with stardiagnose in seattle area?).
I also have one single, loud annoying beep which occurs about 15-20 seconds after the car's power is enabled, but I haven't noticed anybody else complaining about such a thing, so I'm wondering if maybe its caused by the third party bluetooth in the car...
