remote key failure
the remote key flashes the lights but won't unlock the doors, the C/L works fine from the buttons inside the car.

Welcome to the forum! Please take a moment to visit the User Control Panel and update your profile to include your car model and year, and your location (at least country). This information will then appear below your name and avatar on the left side panel next to each post you make. This will greatly help others to give you better information. If you are using the mobile version of the site, you will need to switch to the "full" version to get to the User Control Panel.

So, using the dash switch, the door locks do operate? That probably eliminates pneumatic issues. Do you have KeylessGo? If so, how does it work?

Hi, Yes central locking works fine from the buttons inside the car, it has keyless go but when I bought the car I never received the credit card keys so I have always used the normal key, its been fine for the last year now seems to open and shut from the remote key outside when it feels like it.

So if it works sometimes, it could be a pneumatic issue. Are you having any other PSE problems, such as with the trunk latch, internal storage compartments, or the multi-contour seats?
