Help Please If You Can

[Vanbursta]

I recently replaced the central locking / alarm control box, everything now works as it should with the exception of the infra red remote locking (which cannot be programmed as the control box does not know the car has it), I finally discovered thet the new box has to be "coded" to tell it what functions the car has, by default this is set to 0 on a new box (a sort of basic setting), Ford can't reprogram the unit without the original code which tells it how to work as the car is more than 5 years old and they don't keep the records. My question is, does anyone have the same model as me and if so can they PLEASE read the code from this unit (I think it can be done with VAG com as I saw it done to my car today in a VW garage and the code was DEF set to 0 as I saw it myself), as this will allow the VW guys to re-enable the missing feature(s).

 

If you replace this box with a NEW one this HAS to be done, if you use a scrap one then it is already programmed with the code and therefore does NOT need to be done.

 

Please help if you can as I am now completely stuck.
