Hi does anyone know where or how you can reprogramme a meta alarm remote many thanks Gary

OP-COM. Has an alarm programming function.

OP-COM no good for the alarm as it's not linked into the cars systems, in any way. Immobiliser, yes but not alarm.

Remote programming details here

On a similar note, has anyone had any experience or needed to re train or sync a remote? Tried to get mine repaired as it was so intermittent and its not working at all now. Obviously could just be screwed from the attempted soldering but as the batteries were out for hours am hoping its a case of re-sync.... Cheers Dan

ok, have managed to do more googling and searching now that i am at my laptop and not via phone, i can see the process on the working remote arm and disarm 16 times thing - unfortunately my currently fubar'ed remote is the only one. as a last ditch attempt, would anyone happen to know if the ignition puts the alarm in arm/disarm mode at all? am wondering if i can turn the ignition on/off 16 times to produce the result of the meta being armed and disarmed enough to go into program mode and accept the remote...

 

and do we know of any potential issues with sitting there turning the ignition on and off 16 times in a row? dont want to fry anything more expensive in the car by trying to save the £100 and dash out hassle on the alarm...

 

cheers

No, as far as I can tell (given I spent 12 months driving around with the alarm going off silently until I fixed the siren) ignition does chuff all to the alarm.

thanks for the info and such a quick reply techie. looks like i will have to bite the bullet on the cost and the dash out then (tempted as i am to go the lazy route of new red card and remote by post i cant be certain it will work without a working fob and thats going to cost about £75 for just 1 fob). combine that with the missing V5 cost from DVLA and i find the dealer i bought the car from moving closer towards the top of the hate list.

 

on the plus side i can try and make a project of front speakers in the outer vents whilst the dash is out

I tried the syncing another fob and it didn't work for me either....
