Once you have the alarm and immobilizer off, recharge or replace your battery with a new one if it will not accept a charge. If you have an Exige, you can access the power posts under the forward access cover with your 12V jump leads and follow the same procedure.
I've found another step necessary - after attaching a 12V source. reset the system. Press both buttons on the fob for at least ten seconds / until the light goes out, release both buttons, and press the big button for 1 second.

I've been in this predicament twice , and am getting it down to a drill. I have an extra car battery and use that to turn off the alarm and unlock the doors.
