Presumably flashing red means all is not well. Check the OBD connector for corrosion and water ingress at the rear. Battery voltage OK? read the instructions??
I assume you have the correct synchmate for your vehicle?

Yeah but he does not need to have bought the correct one. I could buy a pair of size 4 shoes for the missus doesn't mean she can get her size 6 feet in them. What numbers does the syncmate have on it? Your engine should be Thor syncmate should be BSM01. :D:D

hi, yes it was advertised as for thor engine !!!!!!!! adam , check the white sockets behind the left and right front plates , unplug and check front and back for corrosion spray with electrical contact let them dry and reconnect ,,, I am still of opinion that your r.f. receiver is goosed ,also will check up the b,ec,m, report not got hold of rick yet ,, did you sort out with local main dealer for diagnostics ????????????? :) cheers mozz
 
Hey mozz hope u had a good holiday ...I've spoke to the land rover garage and still trying to get the motor there but no luck yet I'm gonna have a look at the connections tomorrow and the obd to see if anything looks corroded or wrong
 
I always think buying something like a syncmate off fleebay is a gamble, you have no idea if it works or if it's for the correct engine, model of the car means nothing, it's the engine ECU type that matters, diesel, Gems or Thor.

It should have a blue label on it with the designation number. BSM01 Thor. BSM02 Diesel. BSM03 Gems. They are all identical to look at, so without the label it could anyone of the three.

Ok but it does make you wonder how BBS differentiate between the three versions when they send them out, if there is no designation number on them. Have you tried ignition key in various positions whilst trying to sync? Switch ignition on plug in syncmate wait for lamp to go green unplug switch off then try to start.
