Was about to tow my Lotus Exige Sport 410. Let me try this first.

Hoping someone can confirm this works for a newer Lotus Exige Sport 410.

Will this work if the Lotus Exige Sport 410 has an aftermarket alarm?

Was about to give up on my Lotus Exige Sport 410, but this gives me hope.

Trying to reprogram a new key for my Lotus Exige Sport 410—need the code first.
