Any recommendations for a user friendly unit!?
https://blackbox-solutions.com/shop/I meant with a faultmate etc yes agreed, keep coming back to the same thought that rf has no power and is also intermittent
If you have power to tailgate actuator when you press the button there should be power to RF unit. Two wires soldered to a 12 volt bulb are cheaper than a mulrimeter. Maybe the wire juggler has fried it.

Hi guys,
Recently purchased a 1999 p38 4.6HSE:high5: which by all accounts I am very happy with bar one;
ENGINE DISABLED! I would love the pleasure of driving this lovely car more so please please help on the below;
Until recently, I had been experiencing the apparently common problem with the passive and or full immobiliser working well and the remote communication not so.
I have never been able to get my EAK to work as I dont seem to be able to initiate the start sequence; when turning my key to the left four times, I get various reactions from the solenoid, locks, indicators etc (no beep) but no response when turning the key to the right from any.
After random amounts of elapsed time over several occasions at different locations, the fob would react and re-mobilise the system.
Given that the back of my fob was chewed up and the sprung battery contact was loose (one pin not soldered into back of PCB) I replaced the fob with a brand new one from my local independent Landy garage. problem still there.
Here is where Im at now!
I got my detailer to work the interior of the car (particularly the back as previous owner kept several dogs in there!) He removed both covers below the parcel shelves as well as all carpet including on the tailgate. Noticing a short connection on the subwoofer and rear speakers, he moved the wires about to try to find the problem (can of worms I fear!) I believe this caused the fuse to blow that governs the tailgate etc.
Replaced the fuse, tailgate all good however the central locking doesnt seem to work now and I now have had no communication from the fob over the last four days (never that long befor) which tells me that the issue has grown beyond the common receiver problem. I have removed all the rear trim again to try to find any loose connection etc and to check the RF unit.
Have now resigned myself to replacing the RF as the next port of call so can you please let me know the part number for the latest edition and any suggestions regarding the central locking etc.
Much appreciated,
P.S have read about wifi etc.

Fuse was blown and replaced, could this have burnt or damaged a component in the rf possibly?

Unless the polarity has been reversed somehow, it's pretty unlikely that a blown fuse would fry the RF receiver.
