Where could I get Rover 214 1998 key fob programmed in Dublin area?
Any ideas of the cost?

Thanks

Mr.Diagnostic

It is possible to manually re-initalise one that was programmed for the car previously but a new one must be programmed with a suitable scan tool.

Is it new or used?

It might be the same as the Honda one:

Each step must be completed within 5 seconds.

1. Sit in the car with all doors/trunk tightly closed
2. Turn the key to the ON position, marked by “II” on the ignition bezel so the
dash lights come on, then within 5 seconds press the “Lock” button on the
remote for 1 second or so and release the button.
3. Turn the key to the OFF position, marked by “I” on the ignition bezel – dash lights go off.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 three more times (A total of 4 times) – each step must
be done within 5 seconds of the previous step.
5. Upon the 4th turning of the key to “ON”, press the lock button on one
remote, the locks will make a cycling sound (clunk), locks will NOT lock or unlock at this point, they will just make a noise. The system is now in programming
mode. Do not turn key off.
6. Within 5 seconds of entering programming mode and within 5 seconds of
each other, press the lock button ON EACH remote you are programming, for a second or so and release. This step needs to be completed within 10 seconds. Each time a remote button is pushed, the locks should cycle. Up to 3 remotes can be programmed.
7. Turn ignition completely off and remove the key. Step out of car and close
door. The remotes should be programmed and should work. If you have a
trunk/hatch release, the button for this feature needs to be held for a few
seconds before the trunk/hatch will “pop”.

What Diagnostic said

If it was used on the car before, just keep pressing either the lock or unlock key numerous times for a few seconds and it'll re-sync

If it's a new one it needs to be done with extra equipment

Nice one. Just did this on my '96 414 Rover & it sorted the problem. Thought I was going to have to shell out another €140 for a new one.

Batch No. 185 RefAC/0810/1166 ProductBusiness/Security Systems AdvertiserLocktec Agency MediumDirectories Complaint
Advertisement:
An advertisement in the Golden Pages online for Locktec stated “LOCKTEC MASTER LOCKSMITHS” and went on to publish an address for the company in Co. Meath.

Complaint:
The complainant said that when she tried to locate the advertisers they did not appear to trade at the address given in the online directory.

The complainant also queried whether or not the advertisers were “MASTER LOCKSMITHS”, as it takes many years to achieve this title and the company concerned has only been in business or at least advertising since 2007.
2006 Code 2.7 2.22 2.24
2002 Code
Response
The advertisers failed to make any response to the complaint. Conclusion
Complaint Upheld.

The Complaints Committee expressed concern at the advertisers’ failure to respond to the complaint and reminded them that there was an onus on them to ensure that their advertising was in conformity with the Code.

In the absence of a response the Complaints Committee upheld the complaint.

Action Required:
The advertisement must not appear in its current format again
