I can only comment on the key...there is no battery its rechargeable !! Charges when key is in ignition !!

Hi, I had a similar prob when i got mine, i think from the source button press that till you get the cd player showing, then press a disc number i.e. 1 as it has a six disc player when number 1 shows press eject or insert disc, then do the same select number 2 and insert disc and so on.
The 6 discs all go in through the same slot.
Hope this is the prob for you, cheers

Messed about with key pressing numerous times lol But it did work once only opening but wont now

Not 100% but if you remove the cover on the door handle you should be able to put the key in the door and lock it manually!!

My car went in 2 days a go and they didnt get a key in time as the spare one stopped working!! I think it all depends on the dealership!!

They need to program it too!!

You could just push the lock in when door is open from inside then close door...that should lock it...but remember if they key doesnt work you will have to remove the door handle cover to get back in!!

Good luck

Hi Chris, the other thing may be if car has been sat on the forecourt for a while to discharge key, then it may take a good while for key to recharge, so if you can leave it on the drive for a few hours with the key in ignition may restore charge?

i think it throws a message on the dash if the key power is low? ============

Had the car in dealers today (stratstone teeside) theyv'e checked key and said that its fine but still not working the locks

They now reckon its a loose wire problem some were in control unit. They reckon they have to take headlining out to check, 2/3 hours labour £70 a hour.

They said this isnt common but has been a problem on other rrs in past.

What do you think guys?

my only comment would be that Stratstones do not have a very good reputation. ============

If you've just bought the car it's their problem and you shouldn't have to pay for the fix - saying that it is Stratstone's so nothing amazes me from that dealership. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
