rover keyfob tuning

[TylerTots]

Hi, i have a rover 25 and i need a new key fob for the alarm. I have a fully functional factory standard 2 button lucas 17tn fob at the moment, and i have bought an identical one from ebay. i now need to tune it in so i can use it. Please help. how do i do this and what can i expect to pay?

thanks in advance.

I hav a mitzubishi and the fob is activated by putting the key in and holding the little button for 10 secs untill it flashes then it is done
instructions on line or in hand book
good luck Dave g

there is a procedure for this and it involves putting the key into the drivers door lock and locking/unlocking it several times befoe the ecu will accept the key. you could probably get this info from a rover website.

Pry open the fob and remove the battery, press 7 hold both buttons and count to 20, release buttons, refit battery, stand beside car and repeatedly press one button until car locks/unlocks.

Sorry, should read "press & hold"

i tried the refit battery option and it didny work. I would try the key turn option but i dont know how many times to do it. so.... ill try searching for some answers in a rover forum. thanks.
