987.1 key remote problem


Pothole

Recommended Posts

One of my key remotes has stopped working. The little red light on the key still flashes as normal when you press the buttons and I replaced the battery in case that was the issue, but to no avail.

The other key remote still works fine, unlocking the doors and both boots, so I assume the car part of the equation is fine. Any thoughts?

Various talk about resyncing

two suggestions keep coming up. 

1). Reverse the battery in the key for a few seconds. Apparently “reboots” the key

2) turn in the ignition with the key in question.  Don’t start the car. Press the open/close button on the key for 10 seconds. 

Not had to do either myself. But have read them as suggestions a few times.  

Hope that helps.

So, I used the key that wasn't working properly to lock the car manually using the physical lock in the driver's door. Then unlocked it manually. Then stuck it in the ignition and pressed the lock button for 10 seconds. Bingo. The remote is now fully functional again.

Thanks all.
