Help With Key 2006 V35 Coupe

[PHILSKY]

Hi all. Just picked up my 06 V35 Black Coupe from REDLINE in Adelaide.

Car came with 2 remote keys and a master key (I think).

1 key remote works fine to unlock / lock the doors, the other not at all. I changed the battery but still nothing.

I suppose it could just be stuffed but how can ya tell?

The problem is that the car doesn't have keyhole? just a little rubber button on the door handles. My good key doesn't seem to activate the rubber button. Can someone who knows tell me what the heck to do if the other remote stops working? I am guessing that some sort of proximity remote is missing that would allow the button to unlock the car, but wouldn't you need the key in the ignition anyway?

IM CONFUSED?

If you have a normal key for the ignition, then you don't have an intelligent key, so the 'rubber button' on the door, probably means you have the 'snow kit', part of that kit is removal of the key locks in the door so they don't ice up.

I would confirm all keys actually start the car, that way you know that the immobiliser chip in all keys are programmed into the BCM, then all you have to deal with is a faulty remote, or a remote the car isn't programmed to accept.

Yep, all keys start the car so I am pretty happy. And I have the code if I ever decided I needed another remote key. Thanks for your input.
