    central locking/alarm key problems

    superb! cheers Matt, it works. I don't have a service key so unfortunately I can only get one key to program.... if I programme key 2 then key 1 doesn't work and vise versa. I guess If I just get a standard key cut I can code both fobs? Thanks again mate, invaluable info!
