could anyone help out here. Put a new battery in my key fob and now it wont open/lock the car. I was told it would have to be programe to the car. Question is how do i do this please. Thanks

Ignition on to red lights, let them settle and stop flashing and press the lock button on the remote. The doors should lock then unlock and that's it. A whole different procedure if it's a 'new to the car' remote though.

how do you program a new to car remote and a mini facelift ?

You need a proper diagnostic code reader ie Tech II available at your local fiendly dealers of if you're near one of the forum's/The Boy's own Tech IIs you can get it done by someone who can operate one properly.

To add to that, I can do them with my "My Naff Code Reader" as well but you'll need your car pass to add new keys

I forgot about that

Anyone using "My Naff Code Reader", be aware that I've seen 3 knackered ECUs now where "My Naff Code Reader" has seemingly corrupted them. In 2 cases, Tech2 was able to recover it, in the 3rd case, a new ECU was required.

I think, though don't know, that "My Naff Code Reader" may rewrite a large area of flash when doing programming, and something goes amiss in there.

Not sure whether newer version of "My Naff Code Reader" resolve this issue (and the issue with radio/display pairing).


"My Naff Code Reader" would be a great code reading tool if it was around £50-£75 (ie, hobby market), but at £600, its pretty poor value.

They are clamping down on cheap chinese clones, and certainly clamp down on websites that discuss the illegal copies, so no discussion of how to acquire, use, crack, update, fix etc the illegal copies on this site.

Just to add to this, I have also seen a  fair few radios that have been "rewritten" in an attempt to pair/depair using "My Naff Code Reader" and not all of those have been recovereable either.

I agree with TB, its very poor for the money

Thanks worked a treat
