Hi all,

Got home last night and tried to lock the car and nothing frown Can lock it using the keyhole in the door and then unlock it with the fob but it just won't lock with the fob. Tried both keys thinking battery issues in fob, same result. Any ideas folks? Can't remember if the alarm is activated if you just lock with the keyhole.

Could be worth trying this http://www.programyourkeys.com/Program_Car_Keys_-_...

If it fixes it but then it happens again it could be car's battery.

Thanks for the link. Got home tonight though and the fob is working again. Obviously I'm not getting paranoid about evil villain types using jammers to attempt to nick my 150+k, worthless yet oh so wonderful 5er!

Cheers,
Rob
