Question on Keyless Go??

Well after my delima over interior colors in a previous I have decided with pewter/charcoal. Thanks for everyones opinions. Now for the next question. I have read that they have had problems with the keyless go option. I have ordered this on my CDI and was wondering if anyone has any input or if anyone has had problems. Thanks in advance.

I have never had a problem except that sometimes I have to try the driver's door handle a couple of times, especially the first time in the morning. I suspect a slight alignment problem since I don't have a problem with the other doors. I really like it and highly recommend it.

No problems whatsoever! Its been 10 months & I STILL reach for the smartkey in my pocket & smile. Just remember to use the key when you anticipate valet parking or going thru a car wash!

And keep the batteries in the key fob fresh. It makes a big difference. When they get weak you get a "Key not recognized" message in the dash. I love my keyless go. Good choice on the color combo!!

Keyless go is the most fun when you let a friend drive your car. It freaks them out. The first thing they always do is turn the car off by accident. (They think they need to push the button on the shifter to put it in gear, happens almost every time)

I love it though...coolest single option. The only problem I have is when I go to drive the wife's SUV, I forget to take the keys out of my pocket.

No problems with mine... I've had it for 9 months and ALWAYS use the keyless go -- I'd say 99% of the time.

To date, ALL of the about 20 other people that have driven my car did this.

No problems with Keyless Go here either. Love it and would order it again. When I hop into the S500 (without Keyless Go), first thing I want to do is look down at the shifter to press the Start Button and forget I need to use the key.
