alz Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 changing the battery is ok, you will not need it reprogrammed. as long as it the same remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Timpsons talk total tosh. The only bit that may need recoding is the central locking settings but only if the battery has been dead for a while. It's an easy routine to do yourself- From Mirez Radio Frequency Programming Instructions: Insert the ignition key and turn from position II (Ignition) to position 0 (All off) and back four times within three seconds. Remove the ignition key. The locking control system is now in "learn mode" for the next 20 seconds and the red warning system LED stays on continuously to indicate this. During the 20 seconds press one of the transmitter buttons. The remotes signal and code number is learned by the locking module and is indicated by flashing the warning system LED. Wait until learn mode times out (20 seconds) or switch the ignition back to ON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeer Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks all this has been really helpful. The key fob is still working to a degree so it should be a simple battery change in that case. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sounds good, you need a CR2032 battery. (about the size of a 20p coin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
