I do it all the time.

Aha!
apologies, I thought once coded, it's baked into the key. Good to know.

yep, for sure.
First thing I do to any new D2 that comes my way, disable the immobiliser via nanocom.
Had the episode with the brothers TD5 back in the day, not long after he got it, it immobilised itself due to low battery.
I think took 3 or so hrs to figure it all out, as we were new to D2 idiosyncracies at that stage. .. so vowed never again to be stuck like that.
EKA also coded to easy to input values too, just in case.
IIRC also set transponder to single push to unlock all doors, not just drivers door .. etc, etc.

So sounds like OP really needs to meet up with a nanocom owner, or else buy themselves one and set the D2 up for less hassles for security.

I have now managed to buy a working (used) D2 original fob (Australian not US - so correct frequency). Next task will be to code this into the BCM... but I have yet to get a tool that will allow me to do this. Nanocom is mentioned in several posts....... is that the only tool that will do the job, or are there any others now ? (What are you using ?)

I am hoping to avoid spending a fortune on another tool that I will use infrequently. Been there, done that on Saab's and Rover 75's and none of them were any use really.

Thanks

I would use the nano.
