Hi All,
I own a T5-R Gul (1995), which unfortunately only has one key...
I'd like to source a second hand alarm fob, with a view to reprogramming it. Is this do-able? What are the pitfalls? The fob is this type:
Attachment 31646
Also, I'd like a second key. The man in Timpson's suggests that if he cuts one, it wont have a transponder in it for the car to recognise, so it won't start. Is a '95 car really that clever?
Regards,
Mark F
You can get spare alarm fobs from ebay, though they are becoming rare now I think.
The fob looks like it is from the Guard Alarm II system so programming is easy:
- Close all the doors, the bonnet and the boot.
- Switch the ignition on and off 5 times within 10 seconds, and leave the ignition on the fifth time.
- Press the lock/unlock button each fob.
- The first remote control has to be programmed within 15 seconds. The rest must be programmed a maximum of 10 seconds apart from each other.
- Switch off the ignition and test the fobs.
My '96 850 has the transponder in the key, so I guess the 95 would. Someone should be along to clarify.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your note.
I'm on the hunt then for a few alarm fobs.
I've had some success it seems ordering a key through Volvo, with transponder in it, so hopefully that works out. I'll update the thread accordingly as the bits arrive, and I try to program them.
You need to know its deffo that fob my t5r has earlier type
Visually, it's definitely that fob. I've got one, just after a spare.Quote:
