Hi Guys,
I bought a Hawkeye a few months ago, and it saved my bacon today.
When I first got it I used it to sort out all the annoying settings of door-locking and lights, and that was great.
I have been told to send it back to Bearmach for a free ugrade to v.4.
I will do that very soon.
The problem happened yesterday.
Drove Disco A (I have two TD5s) to town and back 50 miles round trip, no problem.
Parked in the yard here, and locked it by the key fob. Two hours later, the keyfob would not UNLOCK the car, and when I opened the door using the key in the lock the alarm went off and the engine was immobilised. I got out the second key, and it was no better.
I tried the two correct keys on Disco B, and found the remote unlocking didn't work.
BOTH Discos had been fine up till that moment.
Today, after failed attempts to use EKA to get in (wrong code seems likely) we went into the car with the alarm blaring and used Hawkeye on it, and went through all the Security items and turned them OFF. The alarm stopped, and the immobiliser we de-activated. Now I can start the engine and drive my car.
Hawkeye says one key (the one I used mostly) is not programmed to match the car, but I don't have a bar code for it. That key still starts the engine.
Electronics?
They are a nightmare, designed to force us into the robbing hands of the main stealers.
