just a quickie,battery in my keyfob is getting low,so is it just a case of changing battery and everything is ok or being a r/r will the keyfob have to be rematched to car? thanks in advance,all advice welcome
 
tis easy when you know how!!! if you do need to re sync the key its not hard!! we'll explain if it gets that far. just one thing. do you have the eka code to the car? i would obtain it just in case before you change batteries!!!
 
do you have the original paperwork for the car, owners pack?? there should be a security card on there, that will have the radio code and eka code on it. if not just give your local dealer a ring on tuesday, if the key will last that long, you may be required to supply proof of ownership but no charge for the code and they can give it you over the counter so to speak!

if they are bieng obtuse let me know and i'll sort you out with a method that rarely fails to win the code!

i didnt need mine when i took the fob to a local motor factors to change but i did have the eka code to hand so i wasnt worried.

its unlikely you will need it but i like the belt and braces approach!!!
 
Press lock button on key, insert key and turn to lock, then back again and remove key and release lock button, fob re sync
 
One of my remotes has no batteries installed but I can still open and start the car. So it seems the biggest problem will be having no remote if it loses sync
