This morning the Vx throws an EML up 2 mins from work but everything seems fine running wise. I decided to pull fuse 8 but when replacing it the alarm bleeped and then decided to go off. Not quite what I was expecting but the batteries in my key fob are DEAD :( I can't get to my spare keys as they are 30mls away. What are my options please..... Try to get new batteries as this fob has two in it ? Leave the Vx for Dead and thumb a lift home ? Any Help Greatly welcomed !!! P.s alarm has stopped but i don't want to set it off again yet replacing fuse 8 just yet.

Fuse two is the siren
Fuse 11 is the alarm
But the siren back up battery might keep in on for a short while

Ok the fuse 8 is back in and fuse 2 and 11 are out. Will i be able to drive the Vx ( will the immobiliser be triggered ) or do i still need to sort the batteries in the fob first ?

You can drive it fine The immobiliser is linked to the key not the shitty Alarm
