#664 of 693 Garage door/ez-pass by wopel Dec 27, 2006 (4:45 pm)
Anyone having problems programing their new R with their garage door? Also using EZ-pass? I can't seem to do either very well, and I'm not getting much help. The garage door opener works while I'm in the garage, but not out of the garage. I've been on the phone for many minutes with just about everyone. Any help appreciated. (My opener is at least 10 years old - but worked well with my 98 E320 and our new 2007 Lexus...), but not with the R.

They will plan itineraries, maybe they have locations for ULSD. You can also call MB. The dealerships that are on your route have to fill up somewhere.

Replying to: wopel (Dec 27, 2006 4:45 pm) I wonder it has something to do with the tint on the top of the windshield. I believe they all made by Homelink but the system in the R is VERY weak compare to my other cars. I almost have to have the car right in front of the garage door in order to open/close it. Also, we live in a gated community and I wasn't able to open the gate so many times that we finally decided to carry the old gate opener.

Replying to: tomtomtom (Dec 29, 2006 12:00 pm) I was given a bulletin from MB dated September, 2005 stating that due to the infrared windows that customers might have a problem with garage door openers, toll transponders and radar detectors. There are 3 places on the windshield that will allow sensors through. Two are on either side of the rear view mirror - the one on the left (looking out) is very small. The one on the right is a bit bigger. There is another one on the very lowest part of the middle of the windshield. You can tell because of the light brown square you can see in the windshield. Now that I know this I still don't know what to do! I, too, have my old remote, but I have to open my window to get it to work! Homelink has been no help. Mind you our other car (2007 Lexus) works great...

Replying to: wopel (Dec 29, 2006 1:05 pm) I learned the hard way about these pass-throughs with the EZpass. Now that I place it properly, I don't have any problems with the NYC tolls. If you are still having problems, I would suggest getting a new tag. (I believe they have batteries that do run out) Here in NY, we have the option for an exterior tag that mounts on the license plate bracket.   As for the garage remote, you know it works. It just doesn't work well. I have a 20 year old unit that works fine with my 2006 R (Panoramic roof). The fact that the handheld remote does not work in the car leads me to believe that much of your problem may be the reception in the garage. Either have your repair man extend/repair the antenna or replace the unit. Before doing that, you can run a test at a friend's or neighbor's house. Take their remote into your car and see if it opens their garage. Replies to this message: wopel (Dec 30, 2006 7:27 am) brianintn (Dec 30, 2006 5:44 pm) tomtomtom (Jan 02, 2007 5:04 pm)

Replying to: nomorebenz (Dec 30, 2006 7:05 am) Good thinking! I will try someone else's garage. I can see a new opener in my future, however! Replies to this message: brianintn (Dec 30, 2006 5:44 pm)

Replying to: wopel (Dec 30, 2006 7:27 am) Also you may want to check the manual on how the remote works with openers that have random codes (safety feature of most new garage openers). I dont have my manual handy but I remember that there are different ways to program. For reference I can open my garage door from a house away and my driveway is fairly long...
#671 of 693 ULTRA LOW SULPHUR DIESEL by wopel Dec 31, 2006 (7:47 am)
I'm still looking for help in locating ULSD fuel for a trip from MD to FL. I have made many, many phone calls to stations along the way, and have found 3 stations. I need a station in the Gainesville/Ocala, FL area. I may not need it, as I am counting on great fuel mileage, but it makes me very nervous to think I can't just stop anywhere to fill up. The fuel in stations is very scarce despite the fact that it should have been there starting - October 1, and then December 1st. Now it is being moved again...
#672 of 693 ULSD fuel by greasykid1 Jan 02, 2007 (1:25 pm)
REPEAT. ONLY ULSD can be legally sold ANYWHERE!!!!!! Many stations have NO IDEA what they are selling.

Replying to: nomorebenz (Dec 30, 2006 7:05 am) The good old handheld works fine inside the R, it's the R's rearview mirror mounted Homelink that hasn't worked too well.
