I had intermittant operation of keyless go operatin (It even stopped cranking mid crank & displayed "key not recognized"!)on my '04 for the 1st couple of years, 'till they swapped out the "Brake Switch". Try stepping on the brake pedal a little harder. If they doesn't work, have them check the "brake switch"... They replaced mine & the keyless worked every time after that.
I'd have thought they would have solved this by now.

keylesss go
LOL,
Thank god someone else posted that. I also had some intermittent issues with my keyless go. This is my first mbenz with the feature, the clk did not have it so i thought i was just releasing the brake pedal too quickly. When i firmly hold down the brake the 2nd time then push start it goes. Or maybe its just because its the second time?

It really pisses me off in the E, because my S and CL don't have this issue.

Interesting, I came to this thread because I am getting frustrated with my 04 E320's 'flaky' keyless go and thinking about a new E. Disturbing to see that it can still be an issue four years later. Still I will drift over to the new car section when I drop mine off for them to 'fix' my key problems.
