Sorted...amazing how the card works when you put 2 new batteries in it!!!! Son loves the keyless entry.....

theres suppose to be two batteries in a card. The one you see is replaceable which controls central locking/alarm buttons etc. The second you cant see which charges off the slot which is keyless part. Lot of people with cars not starting with it in there pocket because they never used the slot. As soon as they started using the slot again it started 2 work again. Hopes this helps.

I never knew that! I never have the card in my slot, and one of the cards doesnt seem as sensitive as the other when unlocking the door - possibly why then

 

[ryan197]

some people dispute it, but ive always used the slot and never had any problems apart from central locking but changed the battery and worked fine after that.

I didnt know there was two batteries? How does it charge the second battery as theres no connections on the key? Not meaning to be an arse just not sure how its right?

 

[ryan197]

induction supposely, someone put up a pic of the inside of one and there was a second battery built into the circuit board.

Hmm you learn something new everyday...

That is fantastic, great to see someone putting in the time and effort in to restore one of these as they are a limited edition! Most people would just shy away from a project like that! Top work fella! :thumbup:
