It could be the reader. Key card not engaging maybe as plastic inside them can break. Should be able to get another reader to try from a scrapper.
I take it he has a good fully charged battery?

The 99 model is a bit different from an 07. The latter has key card entry so my previous answer is not applicable.

Forgot sorted! That particular year/'s in the cabriolet the immobiliser loses it's code digit and has to be reset 1 to 0 or something like that
