Heyyyyy!!

I have a 110 td5 with an unchipped key and no central locking. I have an alarm/immobiliser key fob but never used it. I've read over a handful of threads that talk about a four digit code but don't have that either! I haven't had the landy long.

Today the key fob (and me!) accidentally got wet wet wet. The immobiliser has turned itself on for the first time and key fob is doing nothing. When I turn the key all normal dash lights come on plus a red engine light with a score through it

Any of you guys have any advice for me?? Row
 
As far as I know you need the EKA code which I believe you can get from a main dealer with your VIN.

I assume you're in NI? If so we haven't got anyone on the map with diagnostics anywhere near.

Other than that I'm sorry but don't know what we can do.

From the workshop manual:-

Emergency key access

If the handset fails to operate, the engine can be remobilised by using the key to enter a unique four digit Emergency Key Access (EKA) code.

There are three configurations for emergency key access:

* EKA not active (no immobiliser fitted).

* EKA active.

* EKA with super locking on receiving good passive remobilisation exciter coil signal.

The code is recorded on the security information card and is entered as follows:

1. Using the key, turn the driver's door lock to the UNLOCK position and hold in this position for at least 5 seconds. An audible warning is then emitted to indicate that the body control unit is ready to accept the code. Return the key to the centre position. It is now possible to use the key to enter the separate numerical values of the four digits that make up the EKA code.

2. Enter the first digit of the code. If the first digit is 4, turn the key to the UNLOCK position 4 times. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.

3. Enter the second digit of the code. If the second digit is 3, turn the key to the LOCK position 3 times. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.

4. Enter the third digit of the code. If the third digit is 2, turn the key to the UNLOCK position twice. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.

5. Enter the fourth digit of the code. If the fourth digit is 1, turn the key to the LOCK position once. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.

6. Finally, turn the key to the UNLOCK position and back to the centre position, a double bleep will indicate that the code has been entered correctly. A single bleep indicates that the code has been entered incorrectly.Then, before opening the door, wait 5 minutes for the alarm and immobiliser to be de-activated. During the 5 minute wait for the alarm and immobiliser to be de-activated, the alarm indicator LED in the instrument pack continues to flash (one flash every 2 seconds). DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE CAR until the full delay period has elapsed.When the 5 minute wait has elapsed, the alarm indicator LED stops flashing. Immediately open the door, insert the key in the ignition switch and turn the switch to position II. If the ignition switch is not turned to position II within 30 seconds of the end of the 5 minute wait, the engine is automatically immobilised again.

The EKA code will not be recognised if there is an interval of 10 seconds or more between key turns or if the key is held turned for 5 seconds or more during the procedure.

In some system configurations a successful EKA code entry is indicated by the audible warning device pulsing twice for a period of 50 ms on, 200 ms off. The theft deterrent LED is switched on for 1 second, all doors unlock, the alarm disarms and the vehicle is remobilised allowing the engine to start.

If an incorrect code is entered, an audible warning is emitted and the procedure must be repeated. Up to a maximum of 10 attempts to enter the code is possible. After 10 attempts, the BCU will not allow any further codes to be entered for a period of 10 minutes.
 
The key in the drivers door thing works even on non central locking vehicle? Thanks for all your help so far guys!

The more I fiddle + fix on it and read up, the more I think I have a 10as problem. The courtesy lights aren't working, yet all switches and wires seem fine.

If this turns out to be true, is it a case of OEM replacement unit + key fobs.....or with a bit of work can I get around it cheaply?
 
If you haven't already got this sorted......I sometimes drive a TD5 with no central locking and a fob, occasionally i have the same trouble i.e. red flashing light and no crank. What gets this one going is to act as if you are replacing the battery in the fob. Best to check your manual for the exact process but its something like:
Remove battery
Press buttons to drain any remaining power from fob
Re insert battery
Press lock button 5 times to re sync

Hope this helps
 
Okay Doke, thank you!! I'll give this a bash when I go out next.

Does any one know if I buy a second hand key fob from ebay and give it + NY current one to an auto locksmith, can he match the code on the new one to my existing??

The fob should be well dried out by now, have you tried a new battery in it yet, that often solves the problem.
 
I have a feeling it would be a dealer job for a new fob, if it was mine I'd be looking for someone with the right magic box to disable the immobiliser
