I have the keypad but no one knows the code. I have two fobs that are both being little gits and working when they like. You can buy a new one then code it to the car. Not the cheapest option tho

Use the key as normal. LOL One option would be to open up the key and press the contacts on the circuit board directly. If this works the you could get another set of covers from a scrappy to replace yours. Did you get the car from Limassol or Nicosia??

I have this problem everyday due to a mobile phone mast at work,option 1 is to open car with key and put your code in ya keypad,which I believe is in your glove box or option 2 is to push your car down the road till the fob works,


Good luck

Key pad is probably in the cubby hole to the right of steering wheel,lower dash. Marked 'coins' i think.
