so I've been running my 90 for a little over a week now, and aside from the lazy starting, it's been pretty good. This morning, parked up at work (-3 degrees!) and went in for the day. This evening, I went out to the truck and pressed the blipper - nothing happened (LED lit up on blipper, nothing on the truck). Pressed it a couple more times for good measure, still nothing. Thought, hmmm, there's a maplins around the corner, I wonder if the battery's a little dodgy - so I nipped round, split the fob, put a new battery in and returned to the truck. Still nothing.Knowing it would set off the alarm, I opened the door on the key and put the key in the ignition - no problem at all starting it up while the alarm was going off.Dug the manual out (while it was warming up) and read the section about the fob - press both buttons for two seconds to re-syncronise. Ok, so i tried that, nothing happened. Switched off, got out, locked the doors and tried it outside, still nothing. Tried every combination I could come up with, no matter what I pressed, the blipper would light up, the truck would do nothing. I got back in (alarm....) let it settle down and read the manual a bit more, searched the net, no obvious solution. Put key in ignition (alarm...) started it up and waited for it to settle.... then drove it home.Now I was a bit concerned, but when I got out (after a 20 minute drive) and pressed the button, it locked! I pressed the unlock - it worked...So, WTF is going on?! 1) Why could I not re-sync? 2) Why did it let me start the car when it's obviously not recieved a disarm command? 3) Why did it start working all of a sudden?I might just rip out the whole system and replace it with a Toad unit I had in my Supra....
