Re: [MBZ] 2002 e320 wagon with fries sucks today

I am trying to understand the keys on my new-to-me W211. It seems that each of the two keys activates a separate set of preferences in the car. One of the fobs wasn't working to lock/unlock so I replaced its batteries, and now it works. But with one key, the seat moves to a different position
