Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / February 2006306 Remote Key
When I bought my car it only came with the standard key. So I bought a remote key off ebay, hopeing I could program it myself using these http://tinyurl.com/cp5qn instructions. So far no luck, the car is a Peugeot 306 L, 1.4, 1998, R Registered. The key I got off ebay does not have a little LED light on it, so I can't tell if its workin gor not, but I have put in a brand new battery. Inside the key it has a "transponder ?", a small rectangular piece of plastic with lots of numbers on it near the key end of the fob. Have I got the wrong key off ebay, or should this one work ok ? I guess also the infra red part in the car could be faulty.. Any help appreciated. > When I bought my car it only came with the standard key.

It sounds like you well have bought a wireless key off ebay and not an infra-red one.I got ripped off by an ebay trader who described his key as suitable for the 405 which only ever had the infra-red version. Any attempts at getting my money back were futile and now he has disappeared off ebay. He said I should have checked the picture which was no excuse - side on these key fobs look identical. Check your key - it should have a clear LED at the key end of the fob. If it hasn't you have a wireless one. My local Pug dealer has boxes of these wireless ones but no infra red ones. A new replacement infra-red one costs around 90 from a main dealer and they are harder to find on ebay. The wireless ones are there regularly but have to be programmed by a dealer via a lap-top which is normally chargeable. Jim >> When I bought my car it only came with the standard key.

Make sure you advertise it properly yourself on ebay :-) To be honest I think I would prefer to buy the RF version new from the dealer - they have to programme it anyway and at least you would have a warranty. Good luck in getting an IR one. Mines still works but eats up batteries for fun. Jim Try http://www.peugeotdiesel.com/ Alec > When I bought my car it only came with the standard key.

Jim My car is a 1999 306 and the key is RF (Peugeot). There is no IR window at all on the key (I have checked inside when I changed the battery) The procedure at http://www.peugeotdiesel.com/ worked fine for me after the key lost it's code when the battery died. Perhaps they have changed how the RF keys work. Alec >> > When I bought my car it only came with the standard key.

Is there a black bubble there? This is the receiver for the IR. If you don't have one, then the system is RF. Bear in mind that there are two different IR keys, one button and two button. > "> My car is a 1999 306 and the key is RF (Peugeot). > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Bear in mind that there are two different IR keys, one button and two > button. Presumably the RF remote system was installed on the revamped 306 in 1999 - the models with colour coded bumpers throughout the range? >> Look in the car at the area by the interior light.

Correct. The infra-red system was a complete joke anyway! -- sA |
