Hi Guys,

warning that they fail easy, cradle that holds the battery gets a hairline crack in it and separates from circuit board.
buy a new one from coventrys.

you don't have to open them up to programme them, or even change battery

1. Obtain a remote (can be a second hand one - they can all be reprogrammed, or you can buy a new one for about $90 from Ford).
2. Close the doors.
3. Turn the ignition key to the accesories position.
4. Within 5 seconds of turning the key, hit the rear demister button (center console) three times in succession.
5. The door locks will cycle once to indicate the special mode has been entered.
6. Press any button on the remote you wish to program.
7. The doors will cycle to indicate a new remote has been programmed.
8. Continue steps 6 and 7 for all remotes (including existing ones) you intend to use on the vehicle.
9. When you’ve programmed all the remotes, turn the ignition key off. The doors should cycle again to indicate the programming session has been completed.




Have tried this an it DOES work.

Yeah programming is easy (as above).

You can buy them off ebay a lot cheaper than anywhere else too by the way (if you don't mind waiting a week to get it from over east)

also i probaly should add if anyone needs to do this,

if you are using a 2nd hand one, make sure you down own the 2nd BA falcon..

What has happened with us is, my father had one set of keys, the remote stopped working, my mother has two sets of keys.

We took my mums spare remote, programmed it to suit dads car, issue now is that the remote unlocks both cars at once..and locks them as well, a little inconvenient but at least its secure (more secure..)
