I’m having issues on my 2025 g63 keyless entry. Opening the door works perfectly but trying to lock the doors is a problem. It rarely works and requires multiple attempts. I have the key with me and touch the pad on the handle but it just doesn’t seem to work. Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix or something I am doing wrong?

 

Are you talking about this? https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...-behavior.html

 

No, I am talking about being unable to lock the driver door by just touching the door handle. Unlocking works fine.

 

a slight touch or brush of the finger on the indent should lock it

 

The indent is actually for summer convenience opening.

Forum member superswiss recommend using your palm or the whole back of your hand to lock.

 

I see, never mind then, try using your entire hand to lock as mentioned.

 

Follow up: Did that work better?

 

This is a Mercedes issue across all cars. Not exclusive to the g. It is a finicky thing.

 

Is it the same for all doors? Mine seems to be working okay so far. I usually use my fat thumb lol.

 

Driver door works some days and not others. Considered it may be related to hand moisture/oil presence. However, The cargo door always works for some reason.

 

bizarrely this actually worked!! I have to use the back of my hand to lock the car. In my previous BMW I would just walk away and once a certain distance from the car it would automatically lock - wish MB would do something similar!

 

Thank him in the other thread : )

 

Yes seems like bmw has walk away lock and walk towards unlock as an option.
