Hi All,

quick question.. .bought myself a new / additional key fob off ebay a couple of months back.

I've read up on the "how to add an additional keyfob" bit in the manual and even paid B&C to get my pin code from Lotus (yup missing from the manual etc tccch).

So I've followed the instructions
1. press and hold both buttons until the flashy light goes off then stays on when you let go...

2. turn the ignition on and off 3 times within 7 seconds so the alarm light stays on

3. turn on the ignition and count the first pin no. in light flashes then turn off

4. repeat 3 for each no. in the pin code

5. press the big A button on first fob, light on dash flashes

6. repeat 5 for subsequent fobs

First fob works fine, the second fob I press the button and it just exits it's permanent light on mode and starts flashing again.

Importantly I should add that it doesn't matter which fob I choose it seems I can program either the new fob or the old fob but not both.

Any ideas ? Am I doing something wrong ?

You missed 7 out. wink

You have both fobs with their lights on solid throughout right?
And after entering the PIN you press and HOLD the big button until the dash light goes out and comes back on again?

I used the method described here to add a fob: http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f320/how-program-k...
