Hi there can anyone please tell me how to sync the key when I’ve changed the battery I don’t have keyless entry just the flip out version

 

yhanks in advance Mark

On earlier cars I would open the door with key (either using the door lock or the other remote), turn ignition on and press the remote "open" button continuously for a good while until either locks clicked or windows went down. It would work afterwards.

 

But I only needed to do it once or twice per maybe 10-15 batteries replaced on 4 Skodas, in other cases it would work out of the box after battery change. Perhaps worth checking if the new battery is seated correctly?

 

Many thanks all sorted now

Good grief, you get through an awful lot of batteries. I've still got my original one after 6 years.

4 Skodas in 20 years, high mileage and 2 drivers. Funnily enough, it's the newer Skodas (2012 Roomster and 2016 Mk3 Octy) that eat batteries more, at least 3 or 4 on the Roomster and already 2 on Octy . Perhaps 10 rather than 15, not really counting them

I ve just changed mine, and nothing was different, it worked as normal without and extra work, I don’t have a keyhole to put it into on the drivers door so don’t know if that made a difference.
