(Another) Key Fob frustration
My 'main' use key fob has been playing up for a few days, working fine some days, intermittently others, not at all (for locking, ignition fine) on other occasions. I went for the standard 'clean the contacts & replace the battery' fix, the labelling inside the fob cover says 2025 but I seem to get more reliable performance from a 2032. However, today regardless of which battery spec I try (2025/32/36) the car will not lock, either by the normal touching the handle or pressing the lock button on the fob. When I do press lock on the fob the red LED doesn't illuminate, but it does for open & open boot & these functions work as expected using the buttons. With the spare it will open/close on the button & the LED flashes for all actions, but neither key will now work for keyless. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Auto rear wipe - interval adjustment?
Thanks Chris. It wipes with a shorter interval in manual than it does in auto. I guess I shouldn't be so lazy!

Auto rear wipe - interval adjustment?
Thanks P-J, it's clearly not a factory option. I was hoping for a software hack perhaps. Never mind, it's not the end of the world.

Auto rear wipe - interval adjustment?
Thanks Powerred, I think I've reached the point of just accepting it as it is.

Auto rear wipe - interval adjustment?
Hi Folks, Is it possible to adjust the interval between sweeps on my rear wiper when in the auto wiper setting? IMHO it would benefit me if it swept more often especially on wet motorways when there's a lot of spray about. I've not found anything yet but just incase I've missed something I thought I'd ask. Thanks.

keyfob battery failing with *no* warning
Thanks all. The issue is not that the key is not sync'd, but that it had stopped functioning i.e. no red light when button pressed.

keyfob battery failing with *no* warning
Hi all, Just had a similar issue with mine. Went out to car, wouldn't unlock by 'touch' (my usual method), nor by using buttons (doors/boot) on fob. No red light when button pushed. I don't recall seeing a caution on the display but I usually jump in, put my foot on the brake & press start which may mean that I missed it. Luckily I was at home, grabbed the unused spare & it worked fine (I don't recall ever changing the battery in the spare but it is an Energiser, not a Panasonic as most seem to report the OEM battery brand being, the failed(?) battery is a Panasonic). Swapped the Energised battery into the other fob - nothing, no red light. Put it back into the 'spare' & it worked fine. 😕 Head scratched. Nipped down to my local Co-Op & bought a card of 4 Duracell CR2025s. Fitted 1st one - nothing. Fitted 2nd one - nothing. Fitted 3rd one - working but with the exception of the button to lock, no red light when I press it & no reaction from the car, 'Unlock' & Boot 'unlock' both cause the red light to activate & the car responds as normal. KESSEY works as normal & car starts. Any experiences like this or thoughts? Thanks.
