The answer is quite simple I'm afraid
The immobilisation and remote central locking are two entirely separate systems.
Locking is controlled by the BCU, and immobilisation by the EWS.
In programming a new transponder, yes the car will start using that key, but for the locking side of things to work, the remote board must be introduced to the car using T4.
Still, it's still a lot better than having simply a "dumb" key

Still work fine with the original.
From what I gather the EWS talks to the ECU and if all is correct it will allow the car to start BUT the body control unit is the thing that govern locking etc so if it doesnt recognize the new key it wont allow any remote locking to happen.
Ive tried the press the fob lock button 4 times etc,stand on your head and scratch your ...... but nothing appears to want to synchronize the new fobs remote.
Wonder if the transponder chip needed to be in the fob when coding it to the EWS,as in does the fob itself have some impact on the programing ?
Need one of you gurus out there!!!!!
