I can't even see a setting...
Out of curiosity, do both profiles have online accounts? At the moment only I have an online account and I wonder if that is why. |

I was under the impression that new keys couldn't be coded to the car, if a key replacment is needed a new blank unit has to be connected to the car to have the keys linked?

We have created profiles for both drivers, but when you get in the car, it uses the last used profile, not one associated with a particular set of keys.

The Disco alarm was never activated!!
