Remote locking question
Sorry, I tried searching the forum, but I keep coming up with irrelivant links. Further, I don't see anything in the Audiworld FAQ. However, I do recall seeing this discussed in the past.
I just went outside to get something out of my car, and my remote doesn't work anymore. Alarm disarms and the car unlocks using the door lock, but the remote button disarm doesn't work anymore. I remember this being discussed before, and that there is a way to reset the key or something along those lines. Could anyone shed some light?
I don't have the other key here with me at work, but can try whatever when I get home. Thanks a ton.

I think it's press lock, insert key into door, unlock
but it should be in the manual how to do that, if I remember right.<p>Tom Boucher

Ah, thanks (more)
heh, figures, the one place I didn't check was the owners manual. 
I'll give that a shot (checking the manual AND what you described) at lunchtime, and see if that clears it up. Thanks a ton!

Didn't work (more)
I read the manual, and as Edwin and TTomTTR said, you press either the lock or unlock button, then insert key, then lock door.
I tried, and it didn't do squat. I tried about 20 times, with different combinations (locking car, hitting unlock, then unlocking door, vice-versa, and all other combos in between).
However, the manual did say "*with the MASTER key*" in like bold lettering, and as I understood it, either of the flip-switch keys are considered the "master key", but I may be wrong on that one. I'll have to go home and try the other key when I get off work, and see if that does the trick.

Not yet (more)
I haven't had a chance to take it apart, nor figure out how to tell if its a dead battery or not. HOWEVER, I can't see how it would be a dead battery, after only being ~2 months since delivery.

How you could get a battery that low . . . .
One of our products is basicly a chassis mounted PC; it has a battery for the CMOS, etc. Some very smart parts man dumped all the batteries in to a bin loose for storage. Well, they shorted on each other and with in a month we had failures all over the field . . .
