I know this from experience.
Ummm, the LED on our remotes serves as a battery check indicator only. The remote uses RF to lock/unlock the car. The single button model of the remote was IR, that was used on earlier MB models.
It's pretty easy to tell the difference since you can keep the RF remote in your pocket and still use it. The IR remote has to be pointed at the little receiver window next to the lock for it to work.
