key fobs - still confused

dougeemac · Mar 17th, 2009, 14:27

hello again

and thanks to advice already given; still got problems, though. When I programme both fobs by turning ignition to position II within the 10 second period, this works but only for the second fob; ie the first fob which is programmed is overwritten. Am I doing something wrong? have put new batts in both fobs so need to programme them both

dougeemac,
If they are the same as our remotes in the US then you will have to program both at the same time within the 10 seconds.

Yes they are the same, the two fobs must be programmed in one 'session' otherwise the last will over-wright the first.

When you press the button on the first, the led should go solid for a short period, then resume flashing to accept the next fob...then solid again once that one accepted...?

thanks guys. I have tried this before, ie doing them both within 10secs, and still it seems that the second one I do renders the first one useless! I'm going to give it another go; I'm feeling lucky

I think you need to slow down...maybe you're doing it too quick and overwriting the first one by mistake?

guys,
thanks for your advice. I was programming each fob with each key, within the 10 secs, thus rendering my efforts useless! have now sorted it
