Thread: Disconnecting the battery

No tools or equipment necessary. Lower and close each window using the switches on the console. As each one goes through the cycle a message will appear indicating it has been set. Same for the sunroof. As for the radio you just need to enter your 4 digit password. Then reset all the stored radio stations.

Open the windows all the way and hold the button down an extra second, then close the windows and hold the button for a second once closed, you dash should say window set. You can set more than one window at a time too.

Open the sunroof, close it, tilt it open, and tilt it closed, it'll say sunroof set.

What colour were the old plugs, black?

You beat me too it!

Have you tried putting the key in the ignition. The some p38's had easy sync which is just to put the key in the ignition switch...the Coil in the ignition barrell excites the fob and the fob sends a signal to the RF receiver, the BeCM then issues a new sync code back to the key....


There was also a more bizarre method on later models that involved putting the key in the door lock, turn the key to lock the door then push the lock on the remote. Then turn the key to unlock the door and then push the unlock button on the remote (I think someone in R&D had watched too many Get Smart series). I suspect once the key is re-synched the windows and sunroof will be able to be reset.

Wait, there's more...if you still can't synch check out this link - even more options

Good luck

Gary

I just need to lock the door with the key, hold it in the locked position & press the lock button on the remote.

Still no luck....

I have been reading lots of "helpful" hints and all sorts of codes and strange landrover handshakes (turning the key in the ignition) no help so far....

Still ready to try more methods.

Windows still not set Have not test driven the car and my Mrs. has her BMW Z4 blocking the drive. At least the key will start the engine. ( don't know why i needed to say she had a BMW Z4 ????? ) doh done it again.

Key in door lock, turn it too lock, hold it there and press the lock button on the remote, now unlock the door hold it in the unlock position and press open.
You should be holding the remote open/close button for a few seconds in each position.
Failing that disconnect the sodding antenna/remote, for the central locking and just use the key like in the old days.
Your battery will live a lot longer as well.
Rough running, get you fuel pressure checked that way you can discount fuel pump or most likely a blocked fuel filter, then I would be looking at the stepper motor.
Coil pack is next, leads, you are onto the plugs it seems.
Fuel injectors, unlikely as far as im concerned.
