We just added a new Mercedes Benz video to our YouTube channel. It is specifically for 2016 and newer models with a dead key fob battery and in many cases a hidden key hole. Models covered are EQB, EQB, GLB, E-Class, EQS, E-Class, Maybach EQS, S-Class, EQE, S-Class, C-Class, AMG, GLC and CLE models.
GLE and GLS SUVs and 2024 and newer G-Class SUVs are covered in a separate video.
All these models use a back up location at the front center console storage area. They vary a bit but tend to be in or near a cup holder.
We’ve added the video to our Mercedes Benz video page, which now features ten videos. You can find them all here at this link. The new video can be seen here.
Remember to replace the batteries in your key fobs at the first moment you see a warning on your instrument panel!
