Are you following this?

Are your locks working normally otherwise? on the fob?
Does the interior light work properly?

Perhaps I am not holding the key in lock position ( the first step) long enough. I will try this tomorrow. Otherwise everything is working as it should when I use the fob also the interior lights

Where abouts are you, if you live anywhere near Heathrow Airport I will be able to retrieve your EKA code.

I have now tried to unlock the car according to your information, but already when I turn the key to lock position, the alarm sounds after 4 seconds and I have to stop. I cannot even enter the code before the alarm goes. What is wrong?

It can only be that the car thinks something is still unlocked. So either a door or boot lock is giving a faulty signal.
What I don't understand is how you can lock and unlock the car with the fob without a problem

Yes it is strange that everything is working quite normal using the fob. There is no light indicating that a door or boot is inlocked. it is only for my own security that I want the door security code to work. I can live it not working but it is irritating

I can only suggest that you try the alarm system test procedure.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that some EKA codes on early MGF's were incorrect with I think the second and fourth digits needing to be increased by one to correct. i.e. 1234 should read 1335
A google search may provide the answer. I don't know if this will help.
I hope you can get it sorted soon. :drive:
