Xantia X2- central locking Remote

Krede · Post by **Krede** » 03 Oct 2009, 10:01

My remote stopped working all of a sudden.
I have read that it might loose its "coding" if activated "repeatedly out of range" and it would then need to be recoded at a dealers shop.

Can it be anything else? (fuese ? etc)
The central locking itself works when activated by the lock.

have you checked the battery in the remote key ?

If you replace the battery make sure its a quick swap, as i think mine los its coding because i took the battery out for a while before i found a replacement!

Cant you also do a "Home Reminder" like on the Xsaras??

If you put the key in the ignition, and switch on the ignition so the warning lights are all on, then press the lock button a few times, would this not make it remember?? I KNOW IT DOES on the Xsara, because I did it not so long ago on one here, a 2000 X plate model..

I have read that about the Xara too... the pug 405 is supposed to be in the same way... tried it a couple of times on my Xantia but to no avail. (and replaced the battery too)

Hi, on my Xantia HDi I had the same symptoms. Firstly I changed the battery in the remote unit and synchronised the codes (ignition on and press a button on the remote - it is described in the user's manual). But with no effect.

Later, on Lexia the Texton unit had to be newly "programmed" to accept the remote sender and this did the trick

Have heard, that it is a quite common trouble on Xantias Mk2.

Is it an infra red remote? if so then you can check if the LED is flashing using a digital camera or camcorder. These can pick up infra red light. This would give you a useful go/nogo test. See my reply to another poster here:-
