That's the thing, usually if I charge the battery, I have never had to enter the EKA code after reconnecting it, and I have owned this car nearly 9 years and never had this problem before which is why it stumped me. Mozz has helped about 80 people get started with a similar problem but...

Nah I'm not a new driver, and yeah it was a serious question.... I believe Nik the Geek and Wammers were discussing MOT failures for non standard equipment coming into effect in 2014 on page one of this discussion. I don't think that asking for clarification of this NEW law makes me a New...

OK All, GREAT news.... it's better now. All thanks to Nanocom Evo. After I took apart what I could of the passenger door trim to check latches and other stuff whilst it was closed and locked, then took apart the rest of my car in the meantime, Nothing worked. I suspect due to the really really...

I have to say if it does really belong to someone on here, Sorry if we offended you. It looks like you have had some offers according to ebay and other member in this discussion, although I would beware of tyre kickers just coming round to laugh..and offer you insanely low prices for your ahem...

I knew which advert you meant before clicking on the link.......maybe it was to cover up a dent or rather large scratch ...I would prefer the dent or scratch, or even a great big hole, there has to be NO other reason it looks NASTY...... Sorry if it does belong to someone else on this site...

Hi, All Unless I have been misinformed, the Faultmate MSV02 does access an alarmed BECM, however only if you purchase the extra software at around 600 Euro's. So in effect if you bought one of these for your P38, you would be paying around £345.00 for the unit, around £180-£200 for P38...

Yeah thanks for that, I just this minute tried that option and it makes no difference the alarm still goes off when I open the drivers door. I believe for my model it is the 4 turns to the left as it says in my handbook, as I have used this method successfully before entering my EKA code when...

Thanks for that, I think the micro switch in the door is fine because when I open the door the interior light does come on. The alarm light on the dash and the alarm just keeps going on even though I have entered the correct EKA code. And the in dash computer keeps saying windows unset ect and...

Hi, Thanks for your offer, I have cancelled hospital apps. until my car is sorted, I am going to see what happens after I get my nanocom hopefully that should sort it. I have been meaning to get a diagnostic tool anyway and now that Blackbox have an affordable standalone unit that pretty much...

Oh right, so if my car won't except the EKA through the key or entering EKA in drivers door with the key, I should be able to connect the Nanocom evolution and enter the EKA code that way. Excellent. Thanks again for all your help. Let's hope it works.

Hi all Mozz, RobinT and many others have all been trying to help me out, but we can't seem to start the car. I assume this is because the BECM is locked and in an alarmed state. So even though I am going to buy Nanocom Evo for my vehicle it won't be able to communicate with the BECM until I...

Hi , Thanks for your reply, I would be grateful for any help as I am completely without a car at the moment. I have tried so many options, it's hard to know what will work. I considered buying the BECM syncmate but again, I don't know if that is actually the problem. If you have contact...

Hi Thanks for your reply, I am afraid I can't find that key fob. The thing is the key fob battery was replaced about a month or so ago, and worked fine before I disconnected the car battery. I am considering buying the Faultmate MSV-2 or the Nano Evolution but not sure which is best. It is a lot...

I am having the same problem with my P38 96 diesel, accept it will not accept the EKA number and will not let me start the engine. So my car is literally off the road... It seems that if one of the doors does not unlock, the BECM thinks the car is being stolen, hence the reason you have to put...

Hi, thanks for your quick reply, Is PM Mozz another member on this forum? OK, my fault for getting my wife to post this message whilst I tried to sort the problem outside. What I mean by re-syncing the keb fob is that when I put the EKA code in the drivers door there is no tweet tweet sound...
