Title: Key fob
Post by: grannon_mv6 on 25 October 2012, 11:43:09

My battery has been running low for a couple of weeks or so i thought. So i picked up some new batteries, took the back off then out falls the battery holder!! Will any fob with a boot release work or am i doomed to be using the key forever more?
