Hi all,
I've tried using my spare (black) key a few times to unlock the car/turn off the alarm, and initially it would work intermittently but seems to have now given up the ghost entirely.
I tried replacing the batteries, but it hasn't helped,and I've tried the reset procedure in the technical manual (the one where you have to lock and unlock the car umpteen times with a working key, and then use the non-working one) and despite faries being in the bottom of the garden now, I still have a non-working black key. I even tried unlocking the car with the working key, and then starting the engine with the broken one (which worked fine) but it still wouldn't open the car or turn on/off the alarm - damnit.
Anyone have any suggestions or is it 'order a new key time'?
PS I have the red key

as i recall seeing the tech advisor what u need to do is the following - two keys in two hands
lock / unlock 16 times and the 17th use the other key where it should re work
or something similar
Can anyone confirm that the above key sequence is true , if it is then ive got fairies at the bottom of my garden
