So the old man just bought a jumbuck and the remote keyless entry doesn't work, no official forums or manuals have how to set it, so wondering if anyone here can figure it out. From what I figure its just been a flat remote and new battery means remote reset, just can't figure out how.
|
private buy i gather so you can't go back to car yard?
|
I think he wants to sync it. Most keyless ones from the factory require you to do something like put the key into an ignition, turn it to accessory for x time then wait then turn it to on for x then back to off or something.

this is how you do it on my lancer for the immobilizer (if fitted)
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector. When the battery in my commodore remote went flat holden wanted hundreds of dorrah for a new key because apparently everything needed reprogramming, told them to stick it so take that as you will. |
Yeah I tried the commodore way and nothing, guessing it might be similar to the lancer as its a Mitsubishi engine.
|
battery has been out of my lancer remote for a month or two now, if I can figure out where I put it (weird looking watch battery on steroids) I can try putting it back in & see if the central locking still recognises the key if you want?
Did the key ever work with your car? Maybe it's just the wrong key fob? Are you 100% sure you put the battery in the right way up? |
will likely need reprogramming in one way or another.
I've changed the battery on plenty of different remotes without losing entry though. |
you did say it was a "jumbuck" need there be anything else said..
|
It will buff out metal it wasn't that bad..
|
I was going to bring up what Mental posted..
The jumbuck is like the joke of the ute world. I imagine it is the same at the offices that run the safety tests, it is so ridiculously dangerous in an accident. |
does the manual still say that it is unsafe to travel with kids in the front seat, kids should be place in the rear?
|
haha it has a 1 star safety rating.
|
The Proton Jumbuck isn't a ute - it's a garden wheelbarrow.

sell that piece of indonesian crap immediately and buy a japanese brand ute. Malaysian dude |
