What is the battery voltage? What year is the car? Why can you not enter the EKA code via the door lock?
 
@carper10 After checking battery, next steps are to do the door latch tests in the Technical Archive at top of this forum. If necessary refurbish or replace the drivers latch. Then you can enter EKA.

Next find out why the remote is not working, i.e. 1) does it light up & transmit ? 2) Check RF receiver under o/s parcel shelf is connected to BECM. 3) If the antenna is disconnected it's probably to avoid battery drain due to interference, so simply use the remote next to the rear window.

Final step is to turn off the EKA function and Immobiliser to ensure this doesn't happen again

i have no idea why i cannot enter eka i have tried everything including disconnecting the immobiliser cant even use nanocom cant get any data
 
Is your nanocom talking to the car at all, if not check the socket for green corrosion and that the wires at the back are ok

Disconnecting the immobiliser? That is not possible, do you mean the alarm sounder?
As I said before, check the battery voltage.

i have found the remote button to open the door has broken on the nanocom the immobiliser is engage and alarm is active cant turn alarm battery is fine 12.8v
 
And you cannot do the EKA if the door lock microswitches are bust. Well, you can if you short wires.
 
Or sync with key in ignition and press buttons on remote.
We still don’t know what year, petrol or diesel.

Perhaps your Nano does not communicate because the self leveling relay under the passengers(?) seat is missing or replaced with the wrong relay.
 
You have to input the eka code 1st then turn off immobiliser and eka
As above, you cannot do EKA with Nanocom on all cars. You have to do the EKA procedure via the door lock to remobilise the car. Then you can use Nanocom to turn off EKA and the immobiliser to stop future problems.
