Key Programming

[peugeot406rapier]

hello everyone,

the radio key didnt work on my white D8 LX when i bought it i put new batteries in it today and finally the little red LED on the fob lights up when you press the button, does the key have to be re-programmed to the car? if so is there a knack to it or does it have to be done by a computer at a garage, it has a keypad immobilser so im guessing the key isnt linked to the immobiliser its just to the cental locking?

thanks

Martin

There's a re-synchronisation procedure detailed in the handbook

And it doesn't always work!
Matt; have you found any option to sync keys in the peugeot planet software? I never got mine to resync after the alternator & battery woes last year.

thanks for your responses guys but as if my magic it started working on its own today i had a heavy box in my hand and by habit i pressed the button on the key but when i pressed the button it opened and then it only hit home when i realised i was using the white one today so thats one less job to do just gonna order a new pair of buttons for the key fob off ebay as the main one is missing and the deadlock button is destroyed! watch this space..after a a good look at the car tomorrow ill have a whole load of questions to ask, things ive not experienced on either of the 406s ive had in the past

I've been too scared to go near that stuff on my coupe - that's one bit that actually works... My dad's D8's central locking ECU won't speak to the PP for some reason though
