CITROEN - IMMOBILISER RE-CODING

Post by mcgra »

Hi - have come here for your expert help!

I have scrolled through the topics, and although I suspect this one has been raised, I couldn't see it !

On my partners synergie - the immobiser keypad code needs changing. One of the numbers on the pad is not working well when pressed.

Any ideas on how to change it. Bought it second hand earlier this year and don't have the hand-book

Cheers !

Seems a bit drastic for such a minor fault.
Why not reprogram the code to avoid the dodgy digit?

I think that's what he's saying -

--// the immobiser keypad code needs changing // - -

If the Synergy is like other Citroëns of the period, the code pad can be one of two different types, depending on the year:

If it's the later type with a "C" at the end of the top row and an "S" beneath it, the procedure is as follows:

- enter your current 4-figure code - the green lamp lights
- press C
- press your new 4-figure code - make sure the keypad beeps at each depression
- press C gain - the green lamp should flash and beep 4 times.

The new code is now programmed.

I can't find the instruction book for my old XM at the moment, but on the earlier keypad, the extra keys have different letters on them and there are other functions.

Sorry - I missed the word 'code' :?
Thought he was proposing changing the entire keypad!

Thanks for the advice

I will give it a go in the morn!

Yeah ... it is just the re-coding that needs sorting.

Cheers
