Out of interest, when you say it doesn't work do you mean at all or from the usual distance?

Hello mate, yes you will need to reprogram it if you have taken the batteries out to put new ones in, or the batteries have naturally run so low that they have completely run out of power.

Here are the instructions to reprogram a keyfob : https://www.scoobynet.com/security-1...a-m30-pin.html

You'll need to read the second post.

Cheers.

If the batterys have been out of the fob for more than 3 minutes you WILL have to reprogram the fob to the cars alarm system
