petereliot Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Having just replaced the battery in my spare immobiliser remote, it unfortunately still does not work. I am assuming that it needs to be reprogrammed after a period without power. Can anybody help tell me how to do this? The immobilser fob is black, about 4 cm long, 1 cm wide, has a button at the top end which is about 1cm across and a red LED that lights up when the button is pressed. I have a picture of it but don't think I can attach it to this post? Would be very grateful if anybody can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petereliot Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks for the link. Unfortunately still no joy though after following the instructions for the single button key fob (which is the closest match to mine but still not the same). I guess that means that either mine is more customised with a different resetting procedure, or just does not work anymore. Either way, I guess I will need to employ the services of an expert to replace / reprogramme it..... Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Have you looked at the printed circuit board inside the fob ..... look for dodgy solder joints or cracks ? Is the battery in the right way round ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petereliot Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yes, nothing obvious wrong inside. It wasn't obvious which way the batteries went but the led doesn't light up when I put them the other way round so I don't think I've missed anything obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Have you got a pic of the keyfob yet? A make of the alarm/immo system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petereliot Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I do have a pic but (and I'm probably being thick) I'm not aware of any way to attach it here? There are no markings on it to indicate the make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 You have to upload it to a web album like Picasa then paste the URL of the image from the web album into your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just looked at your pic of key fob. Its not genuine rover thats for sure. It looks like an early META. Try Srerling and Laser line also. from experience of aftermarket installations they generally dont require a recode after power loss. Its normally when Adding a new remote you need to sync them.. Have you tried Ignition on and press and hold key for approx 10secs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Try a company called AUTOWATCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petereliot Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks a lot for all the help and replies. I'm out of the country for a few days but will try those suggestions when I am back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petereliot Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks a lot for everybody's help. Just to confirm that it did turn out to be an Autowatch fob and they provided the answer as to how to recode it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 And to help fellow club members who have this system the answer is : ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petereliot Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Sorry - I didn't post the rather complicated answer partly because if widely known then it rather renders pointless the whole purpose of having an immobiliser! I think I can now programme my fob to be compatible with anybody else's autowatch immobiliser without needing them to deactivate it or do anything else to it first. However if the general consensus is that I should post the answer then I am happy to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
