toad alarm

[jamesroools]

hi everyone, does anyone know why my alarm wont work, its a toad sigma alarm, i just replaced the batteries in the key, but now the car wont lock or do anythin when i use the key, it worked fine before, the car is a bmw e30 320i convertible, if it makes any difference, is there a need to program or syncronise the key with the alarm because i changed the battery, any help would be much appreciated,
thanks all

where abouts are you based? good friend of mine is a toad engineer

[jamesroools]

im in se london, merton area

[Dom]

is it the key fob or the key not working? Have you checked the fuses for the alarm (assuming you know where the box is, should be above/behind the glovebox).

[jamesroools]

the key fob is working fine it lights up when i use it and it worked b4 i had to replace the batteries, all the fuses are fine,

[Dom]

Hmm... could need recoding, I'll ask for ya

[Dom]

is the key fob the long thin one?

[jamesroools]

yeah, its black with sigma written in red letters on it

[Dom]

Ah, apparently they bugger up for a living. It will need recoding. Got the tool to do it, but am a bit far away
