Yeah. I’ve been doing that off and on all afternoon! Even did it a couple of time for my wife when she got home. For some reason, she didn’t seem as excited about it as I was... Even handed her the remote to have her try it herself. She just gave it back and said that’s ok. Oh well...Richard_TD wrote: ↑27 Oct 2019, 15:26 I'm glad you managed to work it out. I've just managed to get mine working too. I keep unlocking and locking it as I walk past, just because I can.
Both my previous 850 (purchased in February 2014) and the current one (June 2018) came without working remotes. There was a non-functioning one with the previous car but the consensus on forums seemed to be that you had to buy a matching set of receiver and remote.
It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I found a remote in a 960 in the breakers and decided to grab it. It worked perfectly, it turned out that I'd been looking for the wrong kind all that time.
It's slightly different from the US version, lock and unlock is on the same button and the panic button isn't marked. I think all the later UK 850s came with an alarm and remote locking, we had a bit of a car theft epidemic in the early 1990s.
Once I'd found out the kind of remote I needed I was able to buy another pair from eBay, so now I have remotes to go with both keys and a spare.
