Why isn't the C5 II MK2 remote control syncing?

Unread post by sydo »

Hello everyone, I'm coding the immobilizer system of my 2007 C5 MK2. The car starts, but I've tried many different remote control models; the synchronization doesn't work, the remote control doesn't function. The original remote control worked, but now it's lost. Currently, I can only open and close the car with the key. Why is the remote control not working on my C5 MK2?

If it is not the original key then it will need programming with the use of the original keycard. Best done at the dealer!! :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Does it only work with the original remote control, and why don't other remotes work? Many vehicles like the 407, 307, C5 MK3, etc., can be used even without the original remote control.
