Aerial is as far as I know connected.
EKA, how do you turn it off? I have a nanocom and can disable it using it. But I don't recall seeing a way to turn it off. The keyfob is good (had it repaired by a bloke on ebay the other year), new case, new buttons and new battery. It was working fine. Will have to double check, but pretty sure nothing flashes when you inset the key in the ignition. Would it only do this on a key not sync'd or for any key? How can you check the barrel transponder?
In the past, the only way I have got the key(s) to work is by entering the EKA with the key in the door lock. This has worked 3 times in the past. But 98% of the time the door lock microswitches do not work and essentially prevent you entering the EKA.
The ignition barrel is definitely popping out all the way? And the door lock rod is definitely free?
