How old is your car?

There was a time that the wrong code was given to MGF owners - it was a few digets out. If you join the Forum (it's free) you can have a look in the archives. All you had to do was add or subtract numbers from the code.

You can change the battery or case of the key fob without having it reset by a dealer. You will probably have to press the unlock button up to 5 times to synchronise it the the car afterwards.
