I have two keys but one is proving erratic which I have put down to being the battery on it's way out. Question: If I replace the battery does the key have to be re-programmed? Any help with the process much appreciated 👍🏻

If you've put a new battery in the keyfob, the owner's manual tells you you should reinitialise it afterwards:


REMOTE CONTROL PROBLEM
Following disconnection of the vehicle battery, replacement of the remote control battery or in the event of a remote control malfunction, you can no longer unlock, lock or locate your vehicle.

First of all, use the key in the lock to unlock or lock your vehicle.

Then, reinitialise the remote control.

Reinitialisation:
Switch off the ignition.
Turn the key to position 2 (Ignition on) .
Press the closed padlock immediately for a few seconds.
Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition switch.
The remote control is fully operational again

Has anyone replaced the key fob?
i found this in alli express
which is c0523 like our key but the blade has the code hac/hu83 instead of HCA that mine has
Does enyone know if it fits?
It also says HCA on my blade, but for sure it's different from yours.

If the case is changed, the old blade should be reused. It is disassembled by removing a small pin that it has.
