yes, but if you are having issues the you had best check (by opening the black box bit) and seeing what type you have. 3 different types and only the later type will work and also prevent alarm woes and burnt out lock issues

Thanks all,
It is the old unit-I don't like the idea of spending a couple of hundred quid on a box that cost a few quid to make. Only happened the last two weeks at work-I'll try parking the other side of the car park.

Cheers

Out of curiosity,how will the door locks burn out?just because it picks up dodgy signals,surely the car wont lock and unlock by itself,

I take it if the blue wire is disconnected ,this helps the situation?im sure mine has been unplugged,remote locking works perfect but you have to be close to the car for it to operate ,but doesn't bother me the slightest

Evening all,
Had the engine immobilised message and press remote when trying to start at work. Got it started and drove home. System back to normal at home-must be the wi-fi at work.
As I see it, if the wi-fi signal is strong it will interfere with the receiver-it doesn't allow me to lock the car on the remote and throws an engine immobilised message.
By disconnecting the blue wire I'm effectively reducing the sensitivity of the system and the wifi may not have the power to affect the rf receiver. I don't think it's the rf receiver playing up as it only happens at work-we have had multi wi-fi transmitters fitted throughout the premises (school) and outside.
I have a spare RF receiver (old type) and will also try this as well. I will also park as far from the buildings as possible.
You are wasting your time changing your R/F unless its for the latest one. Try disconnecting the blue wire(aerial) and see what happens. Depending on the year, pre 2000 is ok I think, disconnect the R/F completely and just use the key. I did this over 18 mths ago and have not had any problems since.

Thanks again!
I'll give it a go but failing that who is now selling the latest receivers? I've had a scout around the usual suppliers but they are all showing out of stock.

Cheers
