Afternoon chaps.
About three weeks ago I had moved my car parked it outside the house, loaded it up to go away for the weekend...Got in it, put the immobiliser stick in but it didn't deactivate and I couldn't start the car as a result. The light kept flashing too next to the stick insert (didn't stop as it would do normally).I tried turning the ignition, pressing the fob, same again, no deactivation. I tried the usual unlock the car car get in and start it before the time runs out but same again.

I left it outside for the weekend, went away, came back on the sunday. Jumped straight in, it deactivated, fired it up, no problem. I've been using it for about three weeks no problems until last night, it did exactly the same. Fortunately it was parked in my garage.

Any ideas what might be the problem, anybody had the same??? Obviously I want to get it sorted otherwise it could leave me stranded somewhere...
Many thanks in advance for your help

It does sound like your immobiliser, mine did something similar for a while then packed in completely.
As is often said in here, you should speak to Carl Baker who really knows the Meta Alarms inside & out and can probaly diagnose it over the phone, he is also very helpful & can supply any raplacement parts.

It's working again today but going to get a new system fitted as I don't want to be stranded.
I have used Carl before on my first Chimaera. Did a very good job. However I think I'm going to use Dulford as they are a little closer and can also do it while I wait..smile
