I have tried to sync my spare fob to the car but its does not appear to be working the red light flashes when the buttons are pressed but it wont unlock the car
I have tried to do it several times if I am correct the key needs to be in the ignition at position 2 (lights on) then press either lock or unlock on the fob and this should operate the door lock up/down and then its set
So not sure what I am doing wrong or even if the fob is actually for the car although the key starts the car so the transponder chip in there is correct
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong

Don't shoot me if this is wrong .........
can you take the fob off the key so you can point it at the sensor ( sunroof control panel) and hold the button in ( rather than just press it). If this doesn't work you may need tech 2.
............ Ready, aim ........ Fire :D

The light may be flashing, but that does not always mean the key is transmitting. The immobilisor circuit is totaly different and seperate.
IMHO your best bet is to contact Martin Imber, he's not here often now but is available through ebay ..

He can check and repair keyfobs, and does an excellent job, he's fixed mine .. both fobs on both cars ... I will recommend him highly :y :y :y

not sure how long you are holding down for :-\ but maybe it needs to be a bit longer :-\

Key in ignition, ignition on, press button on fob - you should hear doors lock/unlock.
Is your key battery ok? Standard button cell 2032 ;)

When I visited TB last week he told me it was saying the fob was out of range I hadnt tried to sync it since I was over there , I swapped batteries over from the good fob just to make sure it was ok :y

you can't just assign A N Other fob to your car by the ''sync'ing'' procedure, any other fob needs to be programmed to your car with the use of Tech II ;) ;)

And you have a sensor in your 2.6 do you? ??? ??? ??? You're describing the routine for the very original infra red separate alarm fob. :y :y

Hello Andy

Both fobs were in poor condition when I first got the car both had broken battery holders but these have been repaired :y

OK ......... wasn't sure form your original post. :y :y

Sorry I should have worded it better , I suspect the previous owner has bought a fob thinking it would work ::)
Thanks for all the replies anyway everyone ,thats what makes this a great forum :y

Ah, damn, we should have done it there and then. Is this the 'standard' key, not flip? Does it say Megamos or Delphi on the back?
Fairly sure I have some Megamos innards, if required, to swap over if required. As you have carpass, easy enough to program a replacement :y

It is the standard fob that wont work I havent got the unit with me at the moment but its got a black battery holder if you can tell from that . I have got another one but this definatley is not from my car , Good holiday ?

Next time you see it, look at back of the fob, on the flat area should be some writing (sometimes only readable under certain lights).
Or pop over one day, and we'll get to the bottom of it (bring carpass just in case!)
