Help! My 2008 AlpardCar wont start as it is not seeing the key after new battery.

 

Can anyone help. I have just tried to start my new Alphard. The power was interrupted when the battery died.

 

Can anyone advise how to get the car to see the key again. There is a red light flashing on the dash

with a key symbol in it!

 

Thanks , Nigel.

Any update on this? With the new battery installed does the key fob still operate the doors correctly?

After some research I found I could start the car by holding the logo on the key fob to the start button. This allows you to start the car. Then I changed the battery in the key fob and all is working again.
