I have done the reset as stated in the manual but to no avail

Battery in the remote?

[Doodley]

if not the battery then perhaps there is a possibility it cannot be done if it wasn't supplied with the car

I have taken the battery out and put it back in again, as i thought it may have the code from the other car on it as i got thr remote from ebay and have followed the manual but nothing doing

The remote you have bought is IR, and not RF?

Its the one thats on a separate fob to the key

thats RF, so wont work if your car is IR

The seperate fob only works on cars post 97 i think....

94-96 was IR... then it moved to a seperate RF fob.

98 RF was integrated into the key

Switch from IR to RF happened in model year 95.

IR types were integrated in key.

RF types from 95 to 99 were either a seperate fob or integrated in key, depending on age.  Both RF types in this range are compatible with each other, assuming same make (virtually all appear to be Megamos).

RF types from 2000 (facelift) have 3 buttons, and are key integrated.

Thanks for that guys, i will look out for a ir type and not a RF one. If anyone wants a free ir remote as it's no good to me now,  mail me.
Cheers

before you give away (yes please!), can you post up piccie of working fob, and the replacement one?

IR types seem to come up rarely on ebay.

If anyone has one for sale please let me know.
Cheers

Thinking about it my dad had a 94 2.5td cdx and his had the red sensor next to the sunroof switch and the remote built into the key with one big button in the middle to lock/unlock and a little one on the side of the key.
