Battery is fully charged. It's not a problem with charging the battery. Must be some sort of a module that doesn't recognize the key is being charged.
Last night I've used INPA to check Status actual key and the main key I use is Key no: 1. There's one thing I don't understand. There is a line "Key Locked" and it has a black dot. Does this have to be on or?
See print screen:![](http://www.exasol.com/site/assets/files/1/inpa.jpg)
I've also checked all the fuses and they are all fine.

I can't unlock my car with remote control. I have to use the plastic key or the metal key that is attached in the remote control.
I wrote a detailed explanation in the 1st tread.
Cheers

There were 2 things wrong:
1) Diversity antenna
2) The cable that comes to diversity antenna.
The problem was that I've tried with a new diversity already and it didn't work because the cable was also corroded. That's why it didn't work. When I opened it all over again I've noticed that cable contacts were completely corroded. I've cleaned them up and ordered a replacement diversity and ..... Thing works.
Thank you everyone for your help!

Hope this helps. If you can't find it let me know and I'll connect the cable again.
