From reading your situation, sounds like the remote keys are defective. they fail quite often we use to replcae those remotes at the dealership all the time. one way to check is bang it a few times. customers would complain there keys wouldnt unlock/lock but when i would get the car it worked everytime, so i would tap the remotes and they would start to fail, tap them again and they would start to work. goodluck

I considered that a reason when you told me how you're having similar problems. But I just tried out the Bang it on a Rock method and it worked. So you my friend are Solo in the Dolo regions lol.
BenzElite - Ok so beating the key up worked and now I'm just going to get a new key. Have you ever seen this issue with the new style keys?

my key sometimes dont work, as far as opening the doors and trunk but when i press the lock or unlock button the lights in the mirrors and the blinkers turn on but the car doesnt lock or unlock. also when i unlocked the door with the metal key and tried to unlock the doors with the button inside or the trunk it didnt work. i tied it with the car on and the off. a minute later everything worked perfect.
is the problem with the key or something in the car?

So just to bump this before I dump money on a new key, does anyone know why BOTh keys wont work?
Like I said, after repeated Banging on the ground, the key worked but It seems to no longer do that any more, maybe I banged too hard lol.
