Okay, so after asking here about programming the garage door opener, I managed to get it done.

However, I'm having one additional issue: it only works inside -- i.e., I can use it to open the garage door when leaving, but when I come back, it won't open from the outside. Any ideas on how I can boost the transmitting power of the door opener?

TIA...

hi andy,

i have an 02 ml500 and a 02s55. the ml's transmitter is better than the S's but not by much. the s's is just like yours. i can close the door as i'm backing out but when i pull back up to open it ...it is near worthless. i can **** farther than this thing can transmit!!! i plan on talking to my local service manager when i get a chance. in the mean time i keep one of my old openers in the car so i can open the door.

Similar issue here but less serious again. The range in my 03 C-class appears to top out at about 10 feet from the door (outside), whereas the old-fashioned opener has a range easily double that. Let us know if you learn anything, S55inPa

I think the problem maybe with the garage door opener not the car. With both my Benzs I can open the garage door 1/3 of the block down the street so that by the time I reach the driveway I can drive directly into the garage without stopping.

Could be the opener. Look for the antenna and reposition it. Keep trying until it works better.

Thanks, sounds like some of you have the same issues I'm having. Interestingly, the regular remote works fine; it's when the door is closed and I'm approaching that the integrated remote on the mirror doesn't work.
