hi, i am having problems with my car remote key it is not doing anything.. Yesterday i changed the battery inside the remote key. The red light flashes on remote but doesn`t lock car with remote. I have also got inside the car and started engine and than pressed remote, it only locks and unlocks once. Once i am out of the car it doesn`t work again. So weird i don`t get what the problem is. I have a vauxhall astra 1.6 2001 x reg petrol. xx

Did you have this problem before you changed the battery,
I had a similar problem, as the battery ran down i noticed the range was shorter, I had to press the fob a couple of times to make it work, so I changed the battery, I had a similar problem I sometimes could not get the car to open for about 10 minutes pressing the fob, after awhile the problem got less until it was fine, I guess what was happening was the new battery was at a slightly higher voltage ( fresh battery's usually are 10% above spec) this higher voltage was interfering with the fobs radio signal,as the battery discharged the problem disappeared.
so you could try pressing and holding the button or pressing repeatedly for 10 to 15 minutes to discharge the battery slightly,

Now a days Dealer send out their technicians to you. Phone around for the Kia Dealer ask them if they could Fix the problem for you You need to give the Vehicle VIN number and Manufacturer Code They will deliver the Key to you. This is if the Car is still under warranty. if not it cheaper if you go to the Dealer. they can do its immediately or It will take max a week for them to reprogram the frequency of the Remote.

put the ignition to position 2 and wait for 10 secs then press and hold the lock or unlock button until the car locks/unlocks itself.
turn ignition off and try it! if it doesnt work or works for a short time then it either needs reprogramming or a new remote.

I hate to be the breaker of bad news, but i think you're trying to get into the wrong car. The car you just got into was a diesel.

You need to reset it as the battery has gone flat and when you changed it they have gone out of sync. Best bet is to contact the dealer and ask what the reset procedure is

I am not sure but I think you are supposed to get the batteries changed at a garage. They reset the code.
