remote not responding
I have 2000 ML430 with the remote not working.
I did change the batteries. It didn’t help.
I tried to synchronize the remote as per the Owner’s Manual:
Insert the key into the ignition.
Start the vehicle.
Turn it off.
Remove the key.
Hold the LOCK button down while pressing the UNLOCK button 5 times.
This procedure didn’t help either.
I read on the forums regarding this issue and is suggests to:
1) reprogram via SDS;
2) replace and reprogram the All Activity Module
Questions:
1) I wonder what exactly needs to be programmed via the SDS?
2) If all the other features of the truck working fine, can it still be the AAM module fault?
I did change the batteries. It didn’t help.

I did all steps that you did except turn key to POS 2 (I did not start engine)
It worked.
