sounds like it either needs enabling using ids or simular 

"Select the <Toolbox> tab at the top of the screen.Select <Module Programming>, <Programmable Parameter>, <Power Door Locks>, <Interrnal Remote Receiver (GEM) - Enabled>."

something like that or could be a faulty gem unfortunatly.

what system you talking about software wise

    Hi Guys. 

    After losing my original key, I went to use the spare however the fob didn't work (2006 Focus ST2) I have changed the batter and still no joy.

    It unlocks the car fine and starts it, so I just need to re-programme the central locking function. Is there a video or way to do this? I have had a look through the above however it looks like that is to re-programme the whole key, which I do not require. And I certainly don't want to mess it up as I am now only down to the one key!
