Hi all have had the battery go dead on my car although only a few months old have now replaced with new battery but now nothing seems to work when I try to start the car it says engine immobilised press remote but when I do this nothing seems to happen also doors wont lock with remote or key. Have tried putting code in but nothing happens any ideas would be very much appreciated

Make sure the battery is fully charged and try again.Re-read the EKA entry instructions and FOLLOW THEM TO THE LETTER !
So many times I have been called out even by garages for this problem.
Make sure all the doors,tailgate and bonnet are closed before you start.

To enter the EKA code you have to make sure everything is closed, and the doors unlocked. Lift each lock by hand, and close the drivers door. Also bonnet MUST be CLOSED.
If the dash shows key code lockout you must wait for that to clear before starting. That can take 30 mins to do so.
Then follow the instructions exact if not it wont work.
