I've just found a personal email address for him and a phone number so I'll try that first. I'd still rather have a solution than my money back..
Early P38 EKA code input?

The Nanocom website on the Blackbox Solutions website has what each pin does. Whether that helps or not I don't know.

it doesn't because he needs the micro controller built into the OBD connector.

Exactly. The P38 diagnostic connector pin details are in RAVE.

Good news.
Heard back from Storey and it looks like there's just a delay on this. Hopefully turn up in the next few weeks..
Fingers crossed
I run V4 of the RSW software on a Windows 11 HP tablet that I bought on eBay for £75. It works with the HP OTG USB adaptor connected to the special cable that I received in the post from Storey Wilson. There are a couple of LEDs in the socket that plugs into that ODB socket. These light up when connected with one red & one green.
The Windows interface of the RSW V4 software is much nicer than the Nanocm but it doesn't do as much eg cannot enter EKA.

All sorted now. Replacement interface cable for the RSW EAS unlock v4 turned up yesterday and had a play with it today. It's listing the EKA code as 9999 and the immobiliser option is set to "disabled". The rest of the software seems to pretty much do what it says on the tin, so, well impressed.

Yes you are correct. No problems for you if the FOB doesn't work you can operate the car with just the key blade.

Yep. The FOB's not working. New batteries, LED flashes, the aerial's connected and I've tried the sync procedure but no joy.
Not had a working FOB since I got the car but it had no batteries and I've stalled off fitting them until now.
If I don't get it working I'll rig up something so as I can get into the car if the lock mechanism breaks.

Could be drivers door lock micro switches. It could also be that, as happened to me, the PO has given you a FOB they got off Ebay that doesn't go with the car.

Could be. I can live without a working FOB.
Thanks for all the help and advice folks.

Not sure if RSW EAS unlock v4 has it, but Nanocom can check the RF memory for valid code. If the RSW software has similar feature, clear the code first, and then press the fob so the LED lights up. If it's the correct Fob the message should be "valid code received".

I don't think it can do this. I'm not overly concerned about it just now. My worry was I was going to land a dreaded "Engine Imobilized" and not have an EKA to get round it. I've bought one of Simon Docherty's code emulators and the RSW EAS V4 can put the ECM into learn mode so I've got that as a last resort should I need it. I'll go through the diagrams and work out another way of working the door lock solenoids, sure it won't be rocket science. However if I come across someone local with a Nanocom I'll talk to them. I can get a loan of a Hawkeye but not sure if that would be any help.

Domino is up your way and used to have a Nanocom.
