2006 Mercedes Benz R Class ignition not accepting key

Tried another key ? Even though a dead key should still be able to start the car , try changing the fob battery /s . Stranger things happen with cures on todays cars and electronics .

I had ordered new batteries have now tried them, tried spare fob, also with new batteries, still no joy, when I put the key in and out quite a few times I can start the engine, then I try again the car does not accept key, must be something wrong with car computer.

Kind Regards

Hi All

I have cleaned keys and ignition with cotton buds and alcohol all seams ok now,
will give it a few days and if all ok will post a note to say it has worked.
