Phone tones not recognized on console keypad
Has anyone experienced this phenomenon? For some phone menus that require selection by pressing a key, pressing a key on the keypad is not being recognized. The funny thing is that I don't think it is with all phone menus encountered. Any advice?

I've encountered this issue several times.. each time it has been after I've played with the 5,3-7 trick and changed the [keypad] to something not compatible with the [model] setting (eg. model = w211ece, keypad = w191us; think about it, and you'll soon see how this makes sense 
).
Hope this helps.

I haven't found a combination of solutions that consistently fix the problem.
So to answer your questions: 1) Yes, people have experienced this "phenomenon" (I think that word is a little strong for what you describe); 2) My advice would be to take the care into your dealership and report the problem.
