All,
First post here so be gentle with me - Sorry it's a problem!!
My original key with a little button on works the central locking remotely on my 1995 JDM GT TT fine provided you stand close enough. I have got myself another key and also a remote fob but I am having a devil of a job trying to code either of them into my system. I know they are emitting an infrared beam as I have done the digital camera test.
According to the knowledge on the UK Legacy, Oz and NZ forums you remove the drivers side sill cover where you will find 2 connectors that you should connect which puts the car into programming/learning mode and you just point your original key at the roof sensor by the map lights and press - The system will then lock and unlock, afterwards you continue with your other fobs/keys - when you point the additional fobs/keys and press the button they should lock/unlock and when you are done you just unplug the connectors and retire for a cup of tea. However when I put mine in programming/learn mode the original key does what it is supposed to but niether of my additional key/fob seems to work.
Another method is to try turning the key 15-20 times etc but this doesn't work and I don't appear to have a button to press under the drivers side dash either.
I can only presume that everything is connected correctly as my remote central locking and my secret code on the handle works as well and I have been able to reprogram that OK.
Does the system have a maximum number of keys/remotes you can store? If so how do you reset and start from scratch?
Has anybody actually managed to reprogram another remote fob/key on a similarly aged Legacy using any of the above methods? If you have can you confirm the step by step procedure please?
Getting fed up with this now!
Best regards,
David
