'03 E55 Keyless Go Question
My first post on this board. Picked up my '03 E55 Saturday, and love it. When I keep the key in my pocket, and open the door to either enter or exit the car, a chime sounds, and the display says something like "don't leave your key in the car." Very annoying, and the dealer's tech looked into it and said it can't be disabled. I find this chime very annoying, and am wondering if anyone knows if/how it can be disabled. Thanks in advance, and I look forward to participating in this forum.

All the E cars with keyless do it. I would like to know if it can be disabled as well. It is not necessary as you can't lock the car with the key in it anyway. How do you like the car?

I have Keyless-Go on my E55 and my car doesn't do any annoying sounds or announcements. I just keep the key in my pocket (pants), I jump in and out the car without any annoying messages.
Maybe something only US bound cars have?
I know there is a message when I leave the key in the car but as long as I have the key in my pocket, no such thing on my car.

Good to see you here! This alert sounds like the a US issue--too many lawyers, I guess
.I'm loving my E55--how about you?

Hi poursha, I love my E55 too but I miss my 996 Turbo. 
With a wife and two kids, the E55 is however the best compromise I found and I really enjoy this car. I can't say I love it as I loved my 996 Turbo but I'm pretty close to it.
Here's a little report on my E55 incl. pictures

I've never been a big Mercedes fan, but this car surprised me and changed my opinion.
The fit and finish--inside and out--is terrific, and Porsche could surely learn a few leasons here. Not one squeak or rattle--not one!

I was told the same thing by my dealer as well. It is very annoying at first but then you get used to it. With the door open it will eventually stop...........
Have fun, what a rocket!

I called MBUSA customer service in NJ (800-for-merc) and filed a "formal" complaint--if enough of us do this, maby they'll get the message and provide the dealers with a way to turn the chime off.
That annoyance aside, a great car!
