Key fob just stopped working - car is fine with the other key fob. Dealer allegedly replaced batteries and concluded that it was still not working therefore new key required. Just spoke to another dealer who wants to try and reprogramme for £45. If it needs new key will be £122.
Extract from report on Crossfire Security below. Will try and take to the other dealer and chance the £45. The Crossfire Has a Mercedes engine so assume it is same system as Merc.
"A remote key less entry system controls the standard central locking which secures the doors, tailgate and fuel-filler flap. Automatic Central Locking can be selected; this activates the system when vehicle’s speed reaches 15 km/h. To aid exit and rescue following a collision, the doors unlock automatically a short time after a major deceleration is detected.
Crossfire is equipped with a Sentry Key™ immobiliser controlled by a coded electronic transponder in each key fob supplied with the car. Whenever the key is removed from the ignition, it disables the engine computer, preventing unauthorised driving of the vehicle, because the engine will not start.
