urgent help please my scooby is stranded!
guys my fob wont disarm the car, not sure why and obviously cant start it and now I look like a thief!! ive unsrewed the battery hoping it might give me 30 seconds to start with the red led on, nope still flashing
any ideas anyone please I done the trick under the chin etc - the fob lights up okay, Im parked just backing on to a railway - should this matter?
any ideas appreciated I dont want my scooby left to the vultures and chavs
any advice happily recieved! _ i shall cycle back there after walking - i appreiate the nature of this is sketchy so PM is fine if you dont want to post any thing public

do you know your pin number for the remote pad?
Have you tried to disarm in the car with ignition on? some early alarms did have interferiance problems from either electrics or mobile masts. do not remember sigmas having this issue though

thats not good if you can not disarm the alarm you will not be able to program in a new remote there is a factory reset code for the alarm but you need the serial number and to phone sigma being an authorised dealer only. the dealer can reset your pin number at the same time as putting in a new remote

thanks joey - might have be my option like you say - mission getting to the dealer 30miles away
Ive taken the fob apart, the circuit board was rather corroded in places I used a small toothbrush and a tiny bit of petrol to remove the corrosion/furring - the LED now lights up again when flexing the board slightly and pressing the button, offered it up against the car itself again, still nothing - this has been my whole weekend so far
as appears to be working now (the led bit anyway) can another fob be made up using this one as a template does anyone know?
thanks for all your replies guys
