Spare key doesnt work

[FarmerPug]

my spare key has been sitting at my aunts house for about 6 months, she found it last week and gave it to me. But its not working, the central locking doesnt work and it seems the immobiliser is not working either.
what can i do here. its not a huge problem at the moment as its the spare, but its good to know i have one incase i loose the key.

my spare keys remote locking doesnt work as well. but it does open the car manually and starts it no problem.

have you tried a new battery in it and re programing it ?

also does the button make a click sound ? sometimes the micro switch on the tiny circuit board inside breaks ,

my spare key, doesn't have the central locking button, nor the imobilizer chip ( i gess, did not tryed this ) .. i think it's only to open the doors ...

By the way: Does the peugeot planet 2000 is able to show the Current CODE of the main Key ?

[Doggy]

No. But PP2000 can get the car to 'learn' the key codes again, (even when the reprogramming sequence in the handbook won't work), but you need the 4-digit PIN code from the security card that should come with the car.

Frank - your spare has probably just been operated too many times out of range of the car and so lost 'synch' - should be able to reprogram as handbook.

the 4 digit code, i dont have it, how do i get it?
the key has sat doing nothing, when i put it into the ignition it doesnt deimmobilise the car either.

It's possible your key is faulty, but have you tried re-synching it?

You can get the code from Pug for about £25, or:

join http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/
search for a post called Peugeot VIN to PIN, (or similar)
post your VIN and someone'll reply with the PIN - got mine within 24 hours.

How can you be sure the Code is correct?

Because risking to program an invalid CODE would be a pain in the arss.. basically i wouldn't be able to put the car starting again ...just basically ..

Well, it got my remote central locking etc. working again when every other approach failed.

Because they can.

[FarmerPug]

how does these people do it, how can they be so sure its right?

[Doggy]

I imagine they've got access to Pug's system, or have a keygen program that comes up with the same answer.
