Hi, i spoke to my dealer today and they told me that a second hand remote couldn't be reprogrammed for my car but it could if it was older. However i have a 2000 registered V40 but from when i had to buy a new headlamp, i seem to remember being told it was old shape 1999 model just happened to be registered Feb 2000. Does this mean it is not a phase 2 and a second hand fob could be reprogrammed? I was a bit stunned and never queried it at the time.
i think the dealer is mistaken as there are loads of identical fobs for sale 2nd hand and surely this means they can be reprogrammed
my fob is a basic 2 button one with lock/unlock which sets and resets the alarm/immobiliser as well as the locking
