Try the re-sync procedure as detailed in your handbook first. A local owner found this unsuccessful but after detaching and briefly holding the main battery terminals together it then worked.
The 2nd fob with the non responsive red light sounds terminal in that one or both of the switches may have failed. Another solution is to get a secondhand replacement and re-code into your BCU with Toaf. Seach the forum for more information. Regards |

One of his key remotes is faulty, the other is probably being compromised by having one of the switches pressed........normally the unlock button, after being refurbished with an aftermarket key case Brian |

OK Brian, but just out of general interest can a T4 reprogramme used boards as Toaf can?

For some reason my thanks doesn't appear - just have to do it the old fashioned way.
