My keys needed to be set for my alarm system - and to open the door. If the alarm is on the door and engine cannot be accessed. The repair trip was half successful. My battery operated keys were set. I wasn't able to set them myself but the shop did. I had one part. The shop sent me to another shop to make keys not knowing that the pieces did not have the ability for ignition. The auto unlock was not fixed. The parts that the keys fits on was. Trouble getting the power locks to work on both doors and the hatch. Shop said there's probably a short in the system, would be expensive to track down and fix. Unclear if due to the aftermarket alarm system. |
