Key fob warning light on dash.

My D4 is just over 12 months old and the warning light saying that there is no key fob has come on a couple of times, meaning the car won't start. It then eventually picks it up. I know I may need to change the battery, but after only 12 months???

Anybody else with a similar experience? Cheers.

Have you had the reassurance program carried out? New keyless module software was bought out to prevent this. Otherwise it might be a fault with the key itself. There was a SSM that came out about this for the early D4s.

slot the key into a little space under the steering column and it will reset. it may not fix your problem though Confused Duncan

Mine will do it every 6 to 8 weeks, dont know why

I just hold the fob under the steering column and press the starter and it is ok again. Faultmate MSV-2
