Thread: 4.6HSE Immobilisor / Receiver issues

More research suggests it is the key fob!

Anyone know how to get a proper one in less than 6 weeks as stated by Barbagallos?

Unfortunately you're stuck as they are made for each VIN.

Make sure you haven't had a lockset change though otherwise you'll have a very expensive remote that doesn't work.

How is the 2nd remote? Does that work OK?

It may be worthwhile stripping your remote down & having the joints resoldered.

Thanks Scott.

As suspected, I think I'd better just get into the dealer and get one on order.

Sadly, I only have one key for the car. I assume it is Key 1 - given it's colour. (I suppose it doesn't matter for ordering purposes if I only have the one anyway)

As a side note, I locked the car last night from inside the house (through a window, and the car was 9mtrs away!

Is this usual when these things are on the blink? Locking is pertfect, unlocking causing problems?

Maybe I will pop the case open and have a look inside...

I have heard mention on other sites of the remotes being different colours but I have never seen a difference in Australia.

I would be very careful ordering a remote if you don't know what you have already. You might have more problems than now if you end up with 2 remote1s or 2s.
A safer bet might be to order a remote3 (if you still can).

After reading that you have a good remote range (unlike mine), I think the problem might lie in the unlock switch joints or the switch itself.

The case is very tight to get apart but do-able.
