re-programming your "blip" remote

[puglover]

a month ago i bought my 406 and the "blip remote was working , then after 2 weeks it stopped but battery was ok . i didnt know why it had just stopped working, but i just tryed this today and it realy works........

1....turn ignition on (all dashboard lights are lit)

2....as soon as lights are on press blip button once

3....wait about 15 - 20 seconds and press blip button once again

4 ...turn ignition off and remove key

5....try your blip remote....it worked for me now my car locks by remote to set alarm and deadlocks,
and saved me about £50.00 in the process

hope this helps other peeps out

When I did mine there was no need to press the button twice, but apart from that this sequence is the correct one and can save some people a lot of hassle and cash.

Hi,

First post here having recently got myself a 406 GLX HDI (90 ) estate.

I need to get myself a spare key programmed, so this has been very useful information thanks....

I also have to do same for my wife's 306 D Turbo (98 R plate). Does this same sequence work for that?

Not sure if it will work for a brand new key as it will have to be setup to the immobiliser first. With the old key as puglover has done, is a case of resynchronising the key to the car.

Not sure if I'm making sense there......

Each key is has 2 electronic systems in them (and the key blade). One is the immobiliser which is a little plastic chip in the key, the other is the remote central locking which is the circuit. The above method does the remote locking but not the immobiliser. The car as to be taken to pug for the immobiliser (with a big wad of cash) to be programmed, i am not aware of anywhere else it can be done.
