My 01' C4 didn't start today. Doesn't even crank. Battery is good (12.6v). My experience points me towards a Starter Relay, but I really don't know. The fuses are all good. I wanted to check the relays in the rear shelf area, but theyre not labeled???

Now-Here's the curveball: Last night, I installed an Ipod patch cable. The cable plugs into the rear of my Becker CDR-220. In order to activate the Aux input, the FB? button must be held_to access the menu.

Did I accidentally trip an anti-theft device etc.?

I failed to mention a prior possibly related issue. About a month ago- the key fob remote lock/unlock/bonnet buttons all stopped working. The battery in the key is good and the red led works.

I need some help please..

Thanks

Your key and your immobilizer are not speaking to each other.

do you have a back up key?

Otherwise you might have to have it hauled to the dealership and get a new set of keys and have them programmed.
