    Hi,

    YOu have it right, turn the ignition on and off four times within ten seconds, leave it on the fifth time, red led should flash twice, then press the button on the remote, you can programme up to five remotes on one alarm unit...

    I have a similar problem, my alarm though has gone I think, as they don't make the same clicking noise that they did, fortunatley the alram is dis-armed... I took mine to the dealers, but they want the car for two days to find out what's wrong, I may well by an after market alarm, it's cheaper.

    Don't mean to nitpick, but you program the car to the remote. So.. if you have one remote now, and do the programming to the second, the first won't work. I think you turn the key on and off 4 times, and on the fifth, leave it it ON. and Press the remote button.

      i turned the key on 5 times left on the 5th, hit a button and still doesn't work?

      any suggestions. can that be disabled or anything by the dealer or someone?

        Mike,

        Hi, yeah, I know, I had the same problem, mine gave up after leaving the pub one night a couple of weeks ago, dam cold, the key still works but the alram goes off, we we able to get the car running through devious mehods, I few fuses later and all the lights stopped flashing, it got me home, I took mine to the dealer, they want it for two days to trace a wiring problem they said, me I think I will just go out and buy a cheap alarm with central locking facility, cheaper solution.... I teried the turn-on-off trick, nothing happened with me either, the led didn't flash, I will have another go and see where it leads..

        Let you know if your still on the forum...
