Sorry about this folks, the search function seems to have stopped working (for me at least).

 

I have two alarm fobs. One works, the other doesn't. I would like two that work so that I have a back-up for when the working one I have finally gives up. Vauxhall say they can no longer supply replacements.

 

Any suggestions on where and how I can get one. Abacus alarms seem to supply, but they need the unique 16 digit code originally supplied with the car on a red card..ring any bells with anyone ? I have my car ID card but that's it.

 

I am assuming others have been here before ?

 

Thanks.

Have you tried the following? "Yep, pressed the fob 16 times until it stopped responding, then pressed the naff one, then pressed the good one, waited 8 seconds and it was fine." Found here: http://www.vx220.org...arm-help/page-2 I have two alarm fobs. One's working and the other one is transmitting but doesn't activate/deactivate the alarm (At least I think it's transmitting because it seems to block the signal of the working fob if I press the non-working fob first and keep the button pressed while pressing the button of the working fob, which then all suddenly and temporarily doesn't work). So I'm gonna try what I quoted above

Following with interest. I tried to get another key fob coded last year twice and with two different experts using the unique code. It didnt work....

Can abacus recode your meta alarm to two new keys. Can't remember if they did this for me but it didn't cure my door bell interference so just bought a new meta T2 alarm with two new fobs from abacus.

I haven't, anyone tried this and confident it works ? I don't want to end up with neither fob working and the alarm re-activating next time I have to disconnect the battery for some reason..high stakes

They say they need a working FOB (tick) plus the 16 digit code for the alarm which can apparently (only) be found on a red card originally supplied with the car..(errr no tick).

 

Bit of a pain !

 

ps My door bell has an old fashioned wire connected to a button so no issues there.

I just tried it and can confirm that it works! Incredible
