Hi i just purchased the new tl remotes for my cls, i tryed using the instructions in the faq section but had no luck, can someone give me more detailed instructions please, or do i have to go to the dealer.

 

Hmm, i programmed mine just the other day
using those instructions. Are you sure you waited long enough between each step?
the helms manual says 1-4 seconds, but i waited about 2 seconds.

 

No need for a trip to the dealer here's the deal.Hop in the car have both remotes ready.Now inser4t the key in the ignition in the lock and cycle it to the run position.Do not start the car simply get the lights in the Instrument cluster to come on.As soon as the lights come on hit the unlock button on one of the remotes.Cycle the key to off and then back to run and hit the remote again.You will have to repeat this quickly five times using the same remote.As soon as you hear the doorlocks cycle (audible thump in the door)leave the ignition on now quickly hit the lock button on the remote,then get the other remote and hit the unlock button snd then the lock button.The car will respond by cycling the door locks.It may require a few tries to do as you have to get the trick down with cycling the key and hitting the unlock quick enough for the car to enter the programming mode.Jens

 

What is the advantage of the new TL remotes?
I've got a 01 CL-S

 

I don’t know how this compares to the FAQ, but here are the programming instructions from the HELM manual.

Remote Program Instructions

They worked for me and many others here.
