Um does that imply never trust a womans word, especially if she's your wife? Lol
Thought I was on my own in that respect!

With a non-working fob (i.e. remote central locking function) you can unlock the car using the door lock (as long as the internal rod hasn't snapped or come adrift !!) this may set the alarm off, as soon as you put the key in the ignition and the passive coil picks up that it is the right key and is authorised, the alarm will stop and you should be golden.

OK thanks for the help, that's good to know , I have read that the key charges in the ignition and that the battery can't be replaced is this correct?

Incorrect, the battery can indeed be replaced....just don't lose the little piece of lose plastic in the key.....this is the immobiliser chip.....the most important part!
