Does anyone know of any hacks/ tricks to get it to work from greater distances? it seems to only work when you are super close to the vehicle. It seems less beneficial to only be able to vent the car when you are almost close enough to get inside already. My Infiniti would work from about 50 feet away.

 

Yea, either your key is failing or the cars receptor is failing!

 

 

Well if you dont get a chassis scan to learn the reason,continue on with your FUYA approach and learn nothing!

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "FUYA" approach. What exactly have you observed to draw that conclusion? You have apparently acquired some sort of misunderstanding from my post. Maybe you can elaborate and I can help you reconcile your assumptions.

 

For others who might actually have something constructive and/or who might actually know what they are talking about, here is the information that I have acquired from other sources thus far.

1) In older Mercedes vehicles one could use the convenience open/ close feature via the remote from further distances.
2) In newer vehicles it is set up from the factory to only work from close distances.
3) My cars receptor checked out fine
4) My cars keys checked out fine.

Thus it seems that Plutoe either knows something that none of the Mercedes-Benz technicians at my dealership knows, or he is just full of it (JFOI). Until he confirms one way or another I personally think that we can ignore his input.

If anyone otherwise has input regarding the original inquiry (is there a way to change the distance from which the convenience open/close feature works) I would be happy to read it.

 

My C63s 2016 doesn’t have this function at all 😂😂😂

 

Wow that is surprising. I thought all C63s would have that feature. Maybe you are attempting it from too far away like I was lol.

I have to kinda point the key fob at the drivers door handle.
