key fob

(1/2) > >>

woody:
i think my battery in the fob is dieing i have to get really close to the door before it opens
as my car is a disco series 1 ( R reg) the fob has 2 buttons on it one for open and one lock setting the alarm
can i just open the fob and replace the battery
 is there a time limit to how long the battery can be out
or do i have to go to the main stealer's and get it re set????????????????

KingWolf:
When I changed the battery in mine I just popped the case open and swapped the battery over. Must admit it still hasn't improved the range any...lol

ben_haynes:
when you take the old battery out press poth buttons (seperatly) for 5-6 seconds each, to drain the memory out of the system

woody:
why would you want to drain the memory out of the system???????

Disco Matt:
AFAIK the locking system on a Disco is one of the sort where it cycles through a series of codes (to fox anyone trying to grab the code from the air). When I replaced mine I had to press the buttons alternately until it got back in sync with the alarm. It's a tad disturbing when it doesn't work at first but keep going. There may be some advice in the manual about it but it's been some time since I read that!
