I remember reading on a forum (thought it was this one, i've searched but can't find it) about re coding the key fob yourself. I know a dealer can do it but my car won't lock from either fob yikes, so it's kinda urgent and tomorrow is Sunday so none of the dealers will be open for service, I want to take it out for a drive. driving

Anyone here done it or know how to?

Sorry, I got the wording wrong, I mean re-synching a coded remote. Both remotes worked but now the spare that LHW coded won't work and I think the battery in the one I use has died.

I think if you hold down the lock button for 10 seconds it re syns it. Alternativly drive it and don't park it up.

Put the key into the ignition, turn half way (don't start the engine), and then hold both buttons down together for ten seconds.

That should do the trick

I have to do this every couple of weeks because, irritatingly, one of the fobs for my car keeps on coming apart in my pocket, after which it wont unlock or lock the car. This is what Lambo London told me to do (for an MY08 Gallardo), and it works for me:

- Hold in the unlock button on the fob

- Still holding in the unlock button, put the key in the ignition lock and start the car

Hold the unlock button and keep it pressed in, put the key in the ignition and turn it so all the lights come on, but don't start the car, then turn it off, take the key out and let go of the unlock button. It should now be back in sync.

This is what I do for the 06 Gallardo Spyder, as per Lamborghini London's instructions.

Thanks to all who replied, when I found my manual, the instructions are on P52 for re-synching.
If you buy a new key it has to go to the dealer for coding to the car, as it requires a dealer code and internet connection.

That's ok. I was wondering if you would consider coming to a couple of PH events we are organising in the south west forum in aid of the Air Ambulance.

Here is the thread with details:
