Hello everybody.

Firstly, I must apologise to all those who have purchased these instructions from me over the past few months.

From May this year, Ebay revised their Downloadable Media Policy & decided to ban all digitally delivered items. This meant that the instructions that I have been successfully emailing to people were now banned from being delivered by email. I could have elected to print each set out & post them to buyers, but to be perfectly honest this would be both time consuming & an unnecessary use of resources (printer ink, paper, envelopes etc.) so I decided to simply stop listing in order to be a good boy & comply with the policies.

Unfortunately, not all members are as good at sticking to the rules as myself & several are still listing on a nudge, nudge, wink, wink, "I won’t actually state that I email the instructions even though I do" basis. This guide is dedicated to these members.

It would seem that the only way to make sure everybody sticks to the rules is to make sure that the information is made available to all, so rather than paying for the instructions to be emailed, here they are for free:

440/460

Procedure

1. In the under bonnet diagnostic socket, connect fly lead to terminal 1 lock and unlock the vehicle using existing remote

2. Switch ignition on

3. Press test button on the diagnostic socket 4 times, LED illuminates

4. Press button 3 times, then 4 times and then 4 times again

5. Press the unlock button on the first remote

6. Repeat the programming procedure for additional remotes. 4 remotes maximum

850/940/960

Procedure

1. Sit in the vehicle with all doors closed.

2. Turn the ignition key off and on four times (not to start position, but the on position) and on the fifth time leave in the on position.

3. Press the remote lock/unlock button several times (if there is a dashboard mounted LED come on for 2 seconds and then it should flash for 10 seconds) to synchronise the remote to the control unit. Repeat for

additional remotes.

4. Switch off the ignition and test the remotes. 4 remotes maximum

850 (Alternative Method)

Procedure

1. Sit in the vehicle with all doors closed.

2. Turn the ignition key off and on four times quickly (not to start position, but the on position) and on the fifth time leave in the on position.

3. Press the remote lock/unlock button several times (if there is a dashboard mounted LED it should flash for 2 seconds and then it should flash intermittently for ten seconds) at this time hold it on to synchronize the remote to the control unit until the LED goes out. Repeat for additional remotes.

4. Switch off the ignition and test the remotes. 4 remotes maximum

5. Suggest you do a couple of test runs first to save getting frustrated.

S/V90 (Alternative Method)

Procedure

1. Close all the doors, the bonnet and the boot.
