To test the transmit / receive LEDs built into the keyfob, point it at a reflective surface, about 10mm away, and hold down the “unlock” button. After blinking the LED a few times it will light up continuously to confirm that all is well. To verify that it really did do the test, try it again without pointing it at a surface (just point it into space somewhere), and the LED stays unlit after the initial blinking.

These people are not me. I found them using Google.
Are you also called Jon Evans? email me and I'll add a link here for you.
My name is Jon Evans, I used to be quite active in the BMW 7 Series (E32) community, as I owned a 735iL, and I have a lot of information available in the BMW Repairs section of the site.
From August 2004 to April 2011 I owned a Lexus LS400 Mk. IV. I have a Lexus Repairs section, but it is fairly empty because nothing much seemed to go wrong with it.
In April 2011 I replaced the Lexus with a nearly-new Toyota Prius, the main aim being to reduce my expenditure on petrol. With rising petrol prices the Lexus was hovering at just under £100 per tank, which would last about 350 miles.
I work as a computer programmer in Towcester, which is a pleasant 40 minutes drive from my house. I design and build web applications for a living.
I live in Banbury, UK, with my wife Heidi and children James and Matthew.
