key problem, but only have one fob
« on: 14 May 2008, 11:49 »
hi, i re-alighned my doors the other day, and when i used the car yesterday, the alarm/central locking had a mind of it own, locking on its own straight after unlocking, now i've just went to use the car and the fob does nothing, wont lock or unlock the car, and i've delocked the doors also, obviously i can get in throught the boot with the alarm going off, is there anyway to re-synk the key when i only have one????
