Resynching my key

Post by bigknickers »

The previous owner changed the battery and told me the remote locking hasn't worked since.
I checked the remote battery which is fine at 3.2volts.
I have just done the procedure.......window open, battery disconnected for 5 mins, sidelights on etc etc.
I started the car and whilst the engine was running I was leaning in through the window and holding the large button on the fob for 20 secs.

The remote still don't work..............what can I do now?
Car is a 53plate 110bhp diesel 'S' estate

It probably needs PP2000 to get the BSI to 're-learn' the key(s)
You need the 4-digit PIN code from the card supplied with the car and someone with Planet
(Adding your location might get you an offer of help from someone nearby). :wink:
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
