Maybe you have to reset the whole alarm? Possibly disconnect the battery jobby?

no alarm , no immobiliser....... i thought it would have been straight forward battery swap.....!!!

Recode for your car!

1: With the system disarmed switch ON the ignition
2: Insert a touch key into the touch key receptacle, the dashboard LED will permanently illuminate
3: Press both radio key buttons together until the radio key LED stops flashing and goes out (approx 10s)
4: Release the buttons and the radio key LED comes ON
5: Press one radio key button, the radio key LED blinks and the dashboard LED goes OUT for 1 second
6: Repeat steps 3-5 for all other legitimate radio keys. When all keys are taught switch off the ignition (the dashboard LED will go OUT)

Something like that is how it is done.

thankyou for all that information , but one problem or two , my radio key fob doesen't have a led nor is there one on the dash. ant one know where the receiver for radio key is located . i think is in the engine bay but not sure where.

its ok ,i've worked out that the only key i got with my car is the second key and not the master so i can't reset it. i'll just have to get an alarm system and get new fobs. or does anyone know how to reprogram the second key without the master?
