Maybe some of the suggestions in the attached file could be of assistance. It's several years old, so any links listed may not work in their original format. I have observed that many of the detailed procedures seen on various forums for entering the EKA code tend to forget the five-minute delay required after finishing turning the key, no doubt leading to frustration...

Good luck with it.

Can the Nanocom not read the EKA when the car is immobilised, SF? Didn't know that. Thanks.

It can't "talk" at all with the BCU while it's immobilised so no way to enter in any menu then

Ignore this. I wasn't aware the nano could not talk to an immobilised BCU.
