Has anyone actually had success doing this? and if so:
How did you position the key on the charger - flat (somehow), on it's side, upside down? (I have a Braun Oral B toothbrush)
How long did it take?
The problem I have is:
Both keys worked fine remotely at car purchase 12 months ago - when I selected one key as main and put one away as spare.
I've recently noticed that the working remote range of the main key varies from easily upwards of 20 feet to as little as 3 feet, and then only if pointing at the rear view mirror. There's no telling how well it will work until I try it.
So I thought I'd get the spare key out only to find that it will not work remotely at all, even when next to the mirror. It had previously worked wonderfully.
If it makes any difference, the car has had the GM5 module replaced (central locking became haphazard) though I'm honestly not sure when the issue with the main key started, in relation to this.
As regards the toothbrush charging, I would have used the spare key in the ignition for my 600-mile roadtrip over the bank holiday - but the zed clearly wanted to stay at home so spat it's coolant out the night before departure
Still, wifey's Cooper S wasn't too bad I suppose...
Just thought... will the second key need coding to the new GM5 (that key wasn't with the car when the module was changed)?
