Weak Batteries in Remote Key Fob
The function may be affected by weak batteries in the key. If your key will not lock and unlock the car from 10 m (30ft) or more, your batteries are weak and that will compromise the strength of the IR beam. Try changing the batteries in the key before you go to more complicated (and expensive) efforts at restoring the function.
Batteries
- 2003 Update S500L Remote Key Fob has two batteries ie CR2025 x 2
- 2005 S500 Keyless Go Fob has only 1 Battery #2025

Issue where Remote Control Key Will Not Rotate/Work/Turn in EIS (EZS)
Summary
Normally after inserting the correct Remote Control Key in the ignition lock (Electronic Ignition/Starter Switch (EIS) control module (N73)) it will turn instantly to position 1 (accessories), 2 (ignition on) and position 3 (engine start). However it seems that a common fault in the W220 occurs whereby the correct key will unlock the doors but once inserted in the ignition will not rotate and appears frozen. In my case this happened intermittently causing huge frustration when out travelling. Fortunately on one trip it eventually worked after continually trying and waiting twenty minutes. The link shows the investigation but the bottom line was that it was not a DIY solution.
