Reciever is like a small square blob on the black glossy part of the front door rear frames

Learn something new every day.

I had no idea any 8's had infra-red remotes for the central locking.

One thought ... have you managed to confirm the fob is working and transmitting?

I have one of these for testing RF fobs, but it works with IR remotes/fobs too:

That listing was the cheapest. Seems to be in stock, though it does state 'discontinued'. There's plenty of them on Ebay though:

Or any IR tester should do.

You can sometimes use a video camera to test IR transmitters too, assuming the camera is sensitive to IR (many are).

I have 3 of them keys so im assuming at least one should work!! Cheers for the link though

Reading the book, each key programs each drivers:

Seat position
Headrest position
Seatbelt position
Steering wheel position

How cool is that, to see all those things move about when you open the car!!

It's certainly is. I've had that ('memory seat') feature on all my 8s. It's great, especially when someone else has moved everything (such as a garage mechanic) to watch it all go back automatically as you open the door!

The system has to be switched on for it to work though (the red on/off switch in the driver's door)
