2000 1.8 Remote control key re-programming - badapple
Hi,
I have the above car and have just changed the batteries in the fob and now it will only UNLOCK the doors and will NOT LOCK them.
When I press the LOCK button, the doors will not lock and there is faint PEEPING noise from the alarm(not full sound from alarm) for about 30 seconds and then stops.
The doors lock/unlock ok with the KEY and the engine starts fine.
How can I reset the remote control fob?
I only have 1 key.
Toyota are asking £60 + VAT to re-set the key fob.
If someone can help please.
Thanks
