success! had a go again today on different laptop. Just installed 812.4 from the CD that came with the cable, changed date, disconnected internet and it worked.
Enabled unlock/lock chirp, reduced coming home lights to 10s but couldn't remember anything else from top of my head. I'll print out the
guide tonight and have a go again.
More worryingly I had 3 fault codes.
1 Fault Found
00856 - Radio Antenna
011 - Open Circuit - Intermittent
Strange this one as my radio works perfectly fine, good reception... don't know... could it be at antenna end (on the roof) rather than behind stereo? I'm sure I have plugged aerial cable back in when I was fitting in Parrot.
1 Fault Found
01135 - Interior Monitoring Sensors
004 - No Signal/Communication - Intermittent
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00100100
Fault Priority: 4
Fault Frequency: 193
Reset counter: 121
Time Indication: 0
Hm this is strange - I need to test it with windows open. I thought it has worked once when I had drivers side window open and put my hand in when car was locked.... but then when someone smashed my rear windscreen with the hammer alarm didn't go off - maybe this is the reason?
1 Fault Found
01274 - Air Flow Flap Positioning Motor (V71)
000 - - - Intermittent
That surely is the bloody clicking noise every now and then. I need to book the car in to resolve this!
