sounds like the same situation i'm in
had the car just over a month and after a couple of days of disconnect & reconnect , ignition on, ignition off, buttons pushed, LED's flashed, and on about the 50th attempt finally getting the 5 flashes but no response from anything else.
I have just found that my key only has a single battery in it but given i've had the 5 flashes I can but assume dead transponder or receiver.
Opening the car with the key isn't exactly the worst inconvenience in the world but is changing the transpoder (in the key I assume) or the receiver (in the headlining/interior light?) easy?

even though it's managed to get to the 5 flash stage which didn't prompt a reponse from the C/L?
ah ok so the 5 flash just means its trying to transmit but if it doesn't have the power it can't send anything so isn't likely to stir a response out of the central locking.
I shall pick up a couple of new batteries ASAP (and probably be back when it still doesn't work)

Ads from the info posted here and in the FAQ thread if you still aren't getting a reponse you either have a knackered transmitter in your key or a knackered receiver in your car
There details of swapping key innards in the FAQ thread if you have a willing friend with a suitable key to test the transmitter.

lol hinting are we
ok ok ill take your attention lol.... how do i find out if the transponder is working or not?
ohhh i thought i was invisable
tbh ime not sure how u find out if its that but ime sure someone does
haha
and can you ask the other half then where he got the box replaced or if you know...
yeah my central locking works fine... and the the led in my door flashes and if i open the boot before my doors the alarm goes off... even when i try to sync the fobs do flash 5 times but then thats it... its just the fobs that aint sync-ing with the car :S lol
I can confirm that i too am exactly the same boat.
New batteries + five flashes = nothing
I know the inlaws Caddy has the same kind of key so may try an innards swap and recode to see if it is my key that's duff or the receiver
Ah well nothing lost (except £4)
