Call out a locksmith with the right equipement. He will reset the codes.

couldn`t agree more thoughtful, main dealers dont want anyone to work on their motors, getting far too complex and costly to repair, some of the bills you hear getting banded about are really worrying, maybe there is a case for a manufacturer to get back to basics and hopefully build a car that is cheap to run and cheap to repair and eliminate some of the needless crap that you see on a lot of motors nowadays

just an opinion, August 2010

this is just an observation, but were immobilizers put in just for main dealers to rip-off motorists, as it seems, just looking at this forum, that they seem to fail quite a lot.i know that they help to prevent you car from getting nicked, but for the poor honest car driver, he has to pay a lot to get fixed, just for changing the battery in the fob. comments any one.
