Does snappy cover the EWS? If not, then get in plugged into a scanner that will. In the meantime, check the fuses.

if battery goes flat on cars with EWS2 with key in ignition the rolling code goes out of sync.
what the dealer said was spot on.

The dealer told him to buy a new key but if the key was out of sync it wouldn’t need to be replaced. I doubt the snappy can reset this though?

From memory, code 81 is for the signal missing not an incorrect code. I don’t have the info handy to look it up but regardless he will need to com with the EWS. This could also be the signal amp at fault.

Have you checked the EWS for supply and ground?
