key fob not working.
« on: 01 August 2008, 22:25:15 »
the keyfob has just stopped working on the girlfriends 2.5 CDX estate. >:(

now, nothing happened to the car, just the fob stopped working.

the lights are lighting up and everything.

why is this and how do i re-calibrate it again to get it working as everytime we lock and unlock with the key the alarm goes off.... :-[

any help will be great.

thanks.

mark.  :y

thanks very much mate, it worked a treat. YOU STAR....... :y

the key fob for my pre-face MV6 is not the right one for the car as when i bought it it only came with the key.

i had a spare fob from an elite i broke a while back and i was wondering how to calibrate it to my car......

Sorry you will have to wait for one of our more 'learned' friends to answer that one,i dont know if they are interchangeable as such ? New the first one cos its happened to me a few times (like when you have to change the battery)

You can re program the keys to the car by turning the key to II, and then pressing the buttons on the fob, but ONLY IF THE FOB CAME WITH THE CAR!

You cant re-program an extra fob / fob from a scrap car without tech2!

I guess you could swap over the central locking/alarm ECU though!
