This is an epic!
My remote on the car key packed up last week. Changed battery and it didn't fix it. So I keep setting the car alarm off everytime I open the door . Then on Friday DH had a problem with his remote on his car - co-incidence - maybe?! He set the alarm off on his car too.
Then on Saturday, having set alarm off numerous times, I went to local dealer who said that the configuration on my key was lost when I changed battery and they could fix it. This didn't work so they said I needed a new remote bit on the key as it was duff. Then I needed something doing on the car to "resolve" the problem. £140 later I left garage (having walked home and back with 5 year old and 3 year old in rain...). Got home - didn't work . Then speak to neighbour who is also having problems with his remote . We think something is broadcasting a signal at the same frequency as our remotes so they don't work. Which mean that our alarms are going off and we can't get cars started without major hassle. I have no idea who to contact about this or how to go about finding out who is sending signal. But it's really pi$$ing me off. And I might not have had to spend £140 for nothing either......
Anyone had this? What do you do?
Just needed to vent - sorry for epic post.
