If you bought a used car with an already installed alarm and want to find out its model and more about its modes and functions, but you have neither documentation nor instructions, then you can try to find out this information by the key fob that you got from the previous owner along with the keys … How can this be done?
It is necessary
- - the Internet;
- - alarm key fob.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember: the easiest way to find out the alarm model for a key fob is to use specialized Internet sites, where you can find images of key fobs from a wide variety of alarm systems. To do this, you need to fill in a combination of words in the search engine, for example, "photos of alarm trinkets", press "search". After that, sites will be presented to your attention, where you can see a selection of their photos, the number of which is constantly replenished on them.
Step 2
So if you find a photo of a keychain that will fully match yours, then you can successfully identify it. On some sites, in addition to viewing photos, you can also set search parameters and immediately sort them according to the following criteria: the presence of a display, LEDs and the number of buttons.
Step 3
Examine carefully the alarm key fob. If you don't have internet access, look for the model and manufacturer on the case. They are usually written in small print. If you do not find any information on the key fob, then look at its design features, because most manufacturers try to make their design special and unique, which will be inherent only in this brand. For example, if your keychain has a marble-like coating, but it itself is not very large and very streamlined, most likely it is from a Pharaon alarm. Mongoose engraved the silhouette of a mongoose very clearly on them. The tank turret-style keychains are produced by Sirio Tank, while the Cobra ones are very similar to the inflated snake hood.
Step 4
Go to the Internet after you have figured out the car alarm model. This is necessary in order to view all the necessary functions and modes that are inherent in the alarm, and find out exactly what actions need to be taken to put this or that mode. It is better to write down the information received, as well as the model and name of the system in the car's service book, so that in the future you will always have the necessary information about it at hand.
