Strange locking issue

Wait don't you have like 5 in your drive??

Yeah and knowing my luck I'll mess them up. They're all runners.

I'm a bit confused by that Stuart. I was led to believe they're linked to the keys? Can I simply swap it then?

You can use another GM5 and just pair it to your current keys using one of the 3-4 regular key pairing instructions that are out there.

Thank you.
Stuart just referred me to your comment on his thread regarding that.
So methinks I shall see if I can find another GM5.
Does it have to be the same part number etc?
Hear a lot about the 'Star 12' version that causes problems.

Brilliant. Many thanks.

Well I've been messing about with the car today and can confirm that it is failing at random intervals.
When it fails I can only unlock the drivers door. Nothing else. Centre locking button does nothing. Interior lights don't come on.
If I disconnect and reconnect the battery it reboots it all......................until the next time.
When it is in fail mode my Autophix cannot communicate with the GM5.
However, once I reset it I can then see the fault codes stored.
The only ones showing are:
0D Power Window: Open circuit Jam protection strip or loss of scaling/Error EKS electronic: Driver's door
0E Power Window: Open circuit Jam protection strip or loss of scaling/Error EKS electronic: Passenger door

I disconnected and reconnected the GM5, just in case it was a dodgy pin. Made no difference.

So I'm pretty sure its the GM5.

Now here is the issue: it's a Star 12!
Can these be swapped for any other one? Which of course would mean me coding the keys to it again.

Or can anyone recommend someone who fixes the Star 12 GM5?
