Hi all, having now taken delivery of my new to me TDV8 I took to the local dealers for some bits and while there asked them to look into why only one key would lock / unlock the doors. The dealer successfully recoded the key that wasn't working but has some how stopped the key that was working. Both the dealer and myself have tried to recode both keys and no matter what we do we can only get the key that WASNT originally working to code and the key that was working now does nothing.

Any suggestions ?

If not software related any where I can send the key to see of the microswitches coincidentally broke ?

Thanks

from memory ' i think both keys have to be coded both at the same time in the same process..not sure if your dealer did that and i may be wrong, hopefully an expert will confirm [daveo?] ... - .- -.

Yes both most be coded one after the other in the same single process. Its easy to do and probably in the WIKI if I know Stanley.....

we got a wiki then?..........................

Correct, you always need to code all keys (car takes up to 7 I believe) together. So they all need to go through the button pressing exercise one after the other, when you leave one key out, it is "removed" from the memory of the ECU. Annoying but the idea behind it is that when you lost a key, that key can't be used on the car anymore (so a "lucky finder" can't take your car for a spin). MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
