On the 406 you don't need to use the remote fob to get going (it will unlock fine manually .. HOWEVER over time, manual use will 'wear out' the 'sensor' in the drivers door lock .. soon you will have to start using the passenger door lock to unlock the car .. and (of course) eventually that will go to .. at this point you are left with using the boot to unlock the car .. that's the point where you are forced to pony up £90 to your local rip-off Dealer for a new FOB (whilst you can still get into your car -) )
PS FOBs have to be 'programmed' for the car, so, unless you have a friendly garage that will reveal the 'secret key combination', a second-hand one off eBay isn't going to help ...
If you got the FOB really wet then the circuit board is ruined, you are going to have to replace it.

must be ordered as required. The white label inside the Plip is labelled PRIM
or SEC.
