Hello,

So ingot Octavia new in 2014 and the spare kessy has being sitting in it's box since. It had never being used.

Yesterday, main key ended in the washing machine.... Yeah it sucks, luckily it Still works.

Anyway, when it was drying, i took my brand new kessy, put a new battery and.... Nothing.

It won't open the car (buttons and door handle dont work) it flashes but the car won't accept it.

I opened the car with the old remote, swirched the batterie but the car won't start. I put the key on the start button to see if it Would communicat and nothing.

I find this strange that it won't communicate. Am I missing something ?

Thanks

The remote fobs use a rolling code which is different each time it is used, what is most likely to have happened is that your unused fob is generating codes outside the range the vehicle is expecting to see.

A search of the forum should give you the correct procedure to resynch your fobs.

Does the driver’s handbook not have the procedure for re syncing the key?

When I bought my car, the spare key wouldn’t do anything, but following the instructions in the handbook, I got it to re-sync. Mine isn’t KESSY, but I’m sure there is likely to be a similar procedure.

Thanks,

I will check the handbook tomorrow.

I did noir find je un the handbook but tried what i saw on youtub.

Press open Burton

Open the car with the key

Press on the start button with the key

And.... The alarme we went off...

Anyway, the car ils going on the dealer on wednesday for a coolant leak.

I will ask them

So Skoda said they have to reprogramme the key, and so, of course not free.

I guess they are juste trying to sell me something.

I will read the handbook again and try to figure it out
