New remote

[David1965]

I've bought a new 4 button remote off eBay, it starts the car but none of the buttons work.

Tried pairing it using info of the internet but no luck.

Any ideas on how to solve this.

HI David, 

I think you will need it programming.

Look for an Auto Locksmith/electrician who will be able to do the job a bit cheaper than a main dealer.

Ok thanks.

The fob needs to be linked to the car using the IDS /SDD software David. In fact, I'm surprised the immobiliser allows the engine to start. Or did you swap your original?

If you know somebody local with the diagnostics it might be worth asking. Only takes 10 minutes. If you were a bit closer I'd do it for you

In that case it might be a while as i won't be putting the s type back on the road for a while.

Have the xj now, think all this needs is front wheel bearings fitting, luckily they came with the car.
