Is it possible to buy a "scanner" of some sort from say Jaycar etc which will pick up these stray signals?Quote:

However, if it really is just a close 433 signal, then I believe you can use an old RF receiver with a 9v battery plugged into it and a led attached?Quote:

To start with I tried EKA codes, new battery and finally disconnecting the remote locking RF receiver in the luggage compartment. The thought being randome signals received by the BeCM from outside sources would then immobilise the engine. So I disconnected the RF receiver and tried just using manual unlock this should have worked, alass it did not.
There is another circuit contained in the RH door ECU which relays the RF rolling code to the BeCM. Once this circuit was replaced it all works. This unit is hardly mentioned in the workshop manual.
For remote trips I leave the RF unit disconnected and still use manual locking.
