Hi there,

I would be thinking the the central locking will have to be re programed as you have lost it's memory when the battery was disconnected, I do believe that this is a job for a dealer, ring the dealership and inquire about this job. I will check it out and post if there is a simple re program for this as well.

Hi there,

Just a follow up, according to Mitchell 1 data base, this will have to be re programed with a factory scanner.
