Hi Peter, I have a MG 1400 Cali and have had some dramas with batteries and my key fob no longer engages with the immobiliser. I have started the bike using the loop provided when new, ( this bypasses the immobiliser) however I would prefer to have the key fobs operating as they are designed. My keys start the bike when the bypass loop is in place, but hoping you may have a hint as to how to program the fobs, I am guessing this is different to the keys. Normally I would have to press the key fob for about a second prior to starting the bike, but at this stage I can’t start the bike without the bypass loop. Any ideas?
@@peterroper617 thanks for your reply Peter, yes I have changed the batteries and replaced the fuse on the immobiliser with no success. I just can’t work out why this has failed and if it has something to do with the battery problem. I have a brand new battery now,, but still stumped as to why it no longer functions.
Can't really help much with that. Since I'm no longer an *Official* service agent I don't have access to any new model info really. We've had a couple of V85's through the shop but since my PADS is no longer current I can't re-set the service icon so most people stick with the dealership network. That's one reason why it's a very good idea to think carefully about where you buy and not just go for the lowest price offered or available.
Well, sadly, you're a bit stuck. Without the code you can't access the 'Code Recovery' function which, if you have two keys, you can then use to re-set the user code. To the best of my knowledge you currently have two options. Either send the Dash to Carmo in Europe and they can clear the code and when you get the dash back you can program it with your own code. OR, you can buy a new dashboard. Neither option is cheap. If you only have one factory key the first thing I would advise you do, whichever way you choose to go, is get another factory key cut and when you have a working dashboard train the dash to recognise it using the 'Change the Key' function. Also, before you despair try using the last five numerals of the VIN number as this was often used by shops as the code. Also the Service Code was used by some people. If your bike is a Griso the service code is 12425. After that? Try simple combinations. 12345, 54321, 11111. If none of those easy guesses work you're back to 'Plan A'

Have the fob batteries gone flat?

We need a video on V85TT, the owners manual is not real clear and the dealer didn't help when I bought it new.
