 Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2019 10:02 am Post subject: Spare Key, alarms and all that....
|
 |
|
Another question and looking at my to do list, not the last!
My spare key doesn't work, so I have changed the battery, reversed the battery, reset the counter and now the key works as a key, opens the car but sets-off the alarm in less than 5 seconds. The alarm stops when I put the key in the ignition and I can start the car. The other key and remote works fine.
So I have two thoughts:
1) the key fob button for the remote is not working but the spare key is still communicating with the car in the ignition.
2) the alarm is going off quicker than the 20 seconds I have seen suggested to open the car and start the ignition, but hopefully that isn't a problem?
A key fob repair should do the trick here? I have seen keyfobrepairs.com suggested elsewhere on 911uk but their website seems to be down.
Obviously, I might have got it all wrong and looking for suggestions and guidance.
Thanks in advance
Graham

Thanks both, is that a repair of existing or brand new key fob?

I need a new key too I think.
Do we have a current cost for this?

There is a great resto thread by Marky911 referencing a working transducer in the key and no need for recoding. Time for a PM!

Key has been sent to a long established business with people that answer the phone. Hopefully it’s fixable and I will up-date with details when I get the key back.

I used keyfobrepair.co.uk. Really fast turnaround of the key and my LED now blinks away when I push the button on the key fob but the central locking still doesn't work.
Speaking with them, they have checked that the key is working before sending it back but reference the need to pair the key for with the car, which must be what people suggest with "coding"
The reset process has been tried again, plus the key in the lock, turning to right x5 etc etc, without success.
Given that the key otherwise works and somehow along the way, I have gained more time from when I unlock with the key before the alarm goes off, this is one for another day or if/when I lose the main key

Ah well, it was worth a try Graham.
It sounds like your key now does what my spare does, flashes quickly but no remote functions work.
As I’ve said on here before, even my Indy says just keep one key fully working and make sure the spare will physically open the car and start it in an emergency. Whichever one gets left in a drawer will no doubt stop working anyway.
They are shockingly bad. The previous owner of my old C2 had two new keys supplied and coded at Porsche for £380. Sod’s law meant one packed in at just over a year old. Like I say it’s a joke.

Good to try these things! I am going to call into an OPC and try and get the code to hand but most likely, leave the spare key in the cupboard!

This did cross my mind but it would render the alarm and immobiliser inop.
