I've just bought a 94 Xantia 2.0 LX, but without any of the usual owner handbooks etc. Can somebody tell me how to reset the immobilser code on the console ? I know the existing code, but as the car has been to garages and other veiwers lately, I thought it prudent to change the code asap.
This is my first posting, but rest assured....I'll be back.... [:)]

Hi
Quick guide to change the keypad code.
Switch ignition on & enter the code.
Press C button, Enter a different code & press C again.
4 Green flashes & 4 beeps from keypad = code changed.
You then have to validate the new code, Because both are now stored in the memory, The keypad will remember the code used next time & wipe the other one. this is a safety feature, People sometimes forget they have changed the code & use the old one.
Wait untill the next time you unlock the car & use your new code, the code you want to keep, this will erase the other code from the memory.
The later keypads have a service mode which is handy for lending you car to garage & friends without letting them know your secret code.
Later Keypads have a S button, early ones have a D/N button
Depending what keypad you have early one or later one, email me because I have both sets of instruction.
