It's a long time since I did it but I remember when I tried pairing the fob on my Td6 I had to unplug the power lead to the unit. Pulling the fuse didn't work but removing the power did for some reason.

Worth a try anyway. John

I'd go with Weegie on the fob paring.

The screen greyed out is likely due to you having the "ignition" on. Open up the car and turn on the audio with the button in the centre of the volume (left hand) knob. Go to the home screen, select timed climate and the manual touch buttons should appear.

Battery voltage is king for the FBH to operate correctly.

Is that fob definately the correct one? I got one for mine the same as yours but wouldn’t pair, got a different type off someone on here and that paired first time! Maybe worth a search…

Many thanks for the suggestions.

Rjff - you are quite right. When I accessed the climate control screen without the ignition on, the two touch buttons were not greyed out.

Weegie - which unit did you unplug the power lead from?

Thanks again.

The fob is either a T91 or T91R, my FFRR didn't come with a fob so I bought one off fleabay only to find it didn't work.
Mine was like yours ON/OFF on the fob, the one that worked for mine ['12 plate] was ON/heat symbol.......that's possibly the reason yours doesn't work......emphasis on the word 'possibly'.

It is the power feed to the receiver. Just unplugs and is pretty obvious when you look at it. Certainly in the earlier models. It is just a little awkward to get to as it is tucked in behind some other bits in the right hand side cubby hole.

It is marked as T90 or T91. John

Thanks for getting back.

It might be that your vehicle battery is slightly down on charge, or even insufficient fuel in tank. Checks are made to ensure that the battery can deliver enough cranking power after a 20 minute FBH cycle and that there is sufficient fuel. If either conditions aren’t met, the FBH fob will flash red and not fire up from the remote.

Matt - I don't think that is the explanation as by coincidence I have just installed a new battery. There is also plenty of petrol in the tank.

Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

Mine works! New battery and no need to pair it. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
