Ok, i'm fed up using my factory immobiliser, and i know i'm going to lose the fob one of these days. In order to use the obc code function do i just need the one connector going to the relay box or should there be 2, as there are 2 connecting points. Does anyone else actually use their code function?

I use mine a fair bit. Gets a bit embarassing when i forget to put the code in and just end up trying to start the car for ages.

did it at sainsburys this evening.

Try and start
realise it's coded, put the code in
try and start, but realise i need to turn the electrics off and on first
try and start again but forget i need to put the code in again after turning it off
turn it off and on, put the code in, start. go home.
