I have an issue were one of my keyfobs, it has stopped working, I assumed that it was the battery had failed so I swapped it for a new one. Problem is it still does not work! The little red led flashes when I press the buttons on the keyfob and thats about it. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem, do I need to get it reprogrammed at the dealers/elsewhere or am I looking at having to replace it.

not to sure mate may just need re-programing but ive lost one of mine and just been qouted £150 for a new one from the stealers so hope you get it sorted via a new program etc which is around £30 so am told anyway matey :angry:

How long have you had the car for? And have you driven for longer than 30 mins nonstop?

needs re-setting then
there is a procedure for the MKIV but i'm not sure if it would work for the MKV :undecided:
does the keyfob start the car?

Had the car since last May, 17,000 (of my miles) on the clock since I bought it :laugh: (just gone through 80,000) and plenty of journeys over thirty minutes.

I had the same issue when replacing the battery in the fob.
There is a sequence that you need to do to re-establish the connection.
Off the top of my head, I can't remember it but it tells you in the manual.

Does amaze me the amount they charge. My brother-in-law has the gear for reprogramming merc keys. Due to the business he is in, he has to sort out a lot of truck units. Apparently it takes seconds to do.
