I had a go at putting in the alarm code earlier but I'm not sure I did it correctly.

How can you tell its been entered correctly?

How many times can you enter the wrong code before you are locked out?

If I get locked out is there anything I can do? Can I still lock/unlock the car And drive it?

Can a main dealer reset the code or do I need to find the old one?

This post should be in security area but there isn't anyone in that area

scoobydooooo

i'd contact your dealer if i were you , if you put in the wrong code too many times it will lock

Sorry if this post is a little late to be of any help, but here goes anyway....

Firstly, I presume that it is the "Overide PIN" that you are attempting to enter and you are not attempting to re-programme the system.

- The keypad allows only THREE PIN attempts and then will "Lock Up" if an incorrect number is entered a third time. This is a secuity feature to prevent random attemts at steeling the vehicle, however, it is also an inconvenience if you are suffering "Radio Lock Out" and enter your PIN incorrectly.
- Once the keypad is "Locked" in this way it will remain so for 30 minutes. The system should be left for 30 minutes before any further PIN attempts can be made. The system can still be armed and disarmed with a working Radio Key during this period and the vehicle driven.

- The PIN number should not be entered too quickly or too slowly - when a digit has been pressed the small LED built into the keypad will illuminate briefly as confirmation and only then should the next digit be entered.
If an incorrect digit is pressed or the delay between entering digits exceeds10 seconds, then the LED above the keypad will flash rapidly and the PIN attempt should be abborted and started again after 30 seconds.
Due to the small size of the keypad some users may find a rubber tipped pencil easier to use. DO NOT use the sharp tip of a ball point pen etc, or press excessively hard on the keypad as this will only damage the membrane and cause a digit to remain pressed, causing a continual incorrect PIN.

My advice is to read the alarm system's instruction manual, practice entering the PIN before you need it and, if you bought the car second hand, ensure you know the correct PIN as this could have been changed by the previous owner and can be changed to one of your own choosing.
Ensure your keypad is operational before you need it on a dark night!

What difference will it make if attempting to re-programme the system?

Sigma Sam

No difference in the operation of the keypad, but I would not recommend that you try to re-program a system unless you are "fluent" using the keypad and programming codes.
The more complex series of programming numbers increases the likelyhood of locking the keypad out and, due to the extensive programming options, the possibility of mis-programming and inadvertantly re-setting features, times sensitivities etc.
