I have never had to try and reprogramme mine but in questioning Citroen here about a spare for the XM I was told that you have to have a pair of plips with different end digits to each other. Apparently inside there is a code number and sometimes a letter. A or B. You have to use A and B plips as a matched pair or different end number codes.
This would be the case for either the IR or the 'other' type as fitted to later cars.
Just what the other type is I cannot say, other then it's a perishing nuisance because I can lock and unlock the car from within the house at a range of around fifty yards! R

The first thing to do with an IR plip is to see if a digicam can see it working.
If it can, the camera's viewfinder screen will show up the IR as white light.
Try a new battery if it doesn't and then go to the BX DIY site, listed in the useful links on this forum as "BXers' bible"and find there Bob Smith's article about recoding plips.

Ok .I have the plip from a 95 xantia ( Spanish model with no keypad or deadlocks only 1 button) which I bought new a year ago, I would like to know if it is poss to reprog it to work on my 97 activa with keypad etc.
Obviuosly the deadlocking wont work as its only got one button but is the reproramming possible? Any thoughts on the matter?
