Warning, do not lose the piece highlighted in this photo - it is the transponder chip for the immobiliser.Your car will not start with out it ! Also IIRC there is a notch in the keyfob to allow a screwdriver to be used to prise it apart Good work mate  gazzerdaman has attached the following image: ________________________________________ GaryCherry Red GTi 6 |

How many of these CR1620 batteries are required for a P2 remote. Need to give the spare remote to my sis but it's got no batteries in it. I've got one battery here and it's not enough. So i'm not sure if i need new batteries (it looks like i'll need 3  ) or whether i need a different size of battery.The last thing i want to do is put 3 in and blow the thing up by giving it 9 volts! I could take apart the other remote but i'd rather not. |

It should say in the handbook what battery you need. My phase 3 handbook actually says to use a CR2016, not CR1620 as stated above.The CR sizes are the diameter and depth of the cell, so you could actually measure what size you need. CR1620 = 16mm x 2.0mm CR2016 = 20mm x 1.6mm and so on... ________________________________________ Rich |

Cheers Rich. Useful bit of info that. Think best thing for me would be to just take apart my working remote and see what batteries are in that. As some of the guys told me at the midlands meet, the P2s use a different alarm system to the P3s yeh? |

The systems are essentially the same, just re-designed, and the fobs were switched from IR to RF. ________________________________________ Rich |

 Sadly not, no. I meant that feature wise they are essentially the same.The alarm and immobiliser are seperate units on the phase 2 but combined into a single unit on the phase 3, which has the RF receiver built into it. ________________________________________ Rich |
