Right ive just changed a battery in my Scorpion remote control, and now the thing doesnt work AT ALL, the car was locked and alarmed before i swapped the battery.

So what do i do now? the car is alarmed/locked and the remote isnt working, ive only got one remote aswell! any help ?

Cheers

 

 

erm... fix the remote?

 

I dont know what steps to take though? maybe it needs to be re-programmed in or something? ive no idea, or if i can actually do it myself.

 

maybe check google for some tips.

Got to say though Yet Another Great Post By BM08.

Hope you get it sorted.

 

Hahahahahahahaha Don't think anyone can take him seriously on this forum anymore!

 

I do feel sorry for him locking himself out of his car but surley he would of left the door open on the car or window down.

Also thought of something, maybe you could try using your KEY to open the door?

 

call the AA, thats what I did when I locked my keys in the car about 250 miles from home

 

Sorry couldnt resist


Try just using the key?

 

Rich170 LOL great pic.

 

yeah i could use the key, and then have both ears permanently damaged while i scrabble under the bonnet to disconnect the battery? i dont think so.

By the way ive sorted it now, i found out how to reset the remote to a working state, which is something you pf know alls did NOT KNOW all you can say is "yet another post by bm08" i didnt see you coming back to me with the answer though

 

So my google tip worked then helmet

Glad it's sorted, couldn't be doing with another BM08 Topic called "Where to get a window changed on a pink 318i"

 

No i looked on there first before posting on here, THEN i posted on here, and then checked google again but typing in something different, then i got the answer and went outside just now to try, and then came on here to say id done it.................. ACTUALLY


And between me and you, i would not drive around in a pink car, but if it helps with yours and everyone else's fantasy, its pink.

 

In fairness then you were never really locked out of the car - it was just a noisy way of getting in

Glad you've sorted it though

 

zzzzzz

 

Remote control re-synchronisation

in the event the remote control becomes inoperative, but the led on the remote control is still flashing, it is highly probable the remote control needs to be re syncronised by following the procedure detailed below

stand within normal operating range of the vehicle

depress both buttons on the remote control until the led on the remote ceases to flash

release both buttons on the remote control and the led will glow

depress either button on the remote control until the led extinguishes and illuminates

depress either button on the remote control a second time until the led flashes and the alarm operates
