Skanny Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi guys I am looking to find out if i can get say 3 or 4 keyfobs that will all work with my one vehicle? I currently ony have 1 that works, can they be copied? Its a work vehicle and i am sick of 'someone' miplacing the keys so we all need out own set including the keyfob to operate the remote and immobiliser. Many thanks Skanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Well is it a 200Tdi or a 300Tdi? There are several different answers to the second question according to how old it is and what the alarm system is that is fitted (one or two button on a 300Tdi), but in most (maybe all) cases the answer is no anyway if it is a factory alarm - I am pretty sure that most of them only allow 2 fobs. You don't "copy" them as such they are synchronised to the alarm ECU - which may or may not need a Testbook depending on what sort of alarm it is.

teabag Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just to confirm BogMonster statement that both systems only allow only two programmed fobs. Single button fobs are user programmable even a second hand one, but new two button fobs require Testbook or similar to program them. I believe that s/h two button fobs cannot be re-programmed as you will loose the alarm ecu's i.d. from the fob. Main or some indi LR dealers or people such RemotKey can supply fobs and program them.

BogMonster Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I don't think it has anything to do with programming the fob as such, I think the programming process synchronises the rolling code in a particular fob to the ECU. I couldn't be 100% certain but I am pretty sure that in the past I have reprogrammed second hand fobs to other ECUs for testing purposes; whether or not they then work on the original vehicle I am not sure...
