Stock Keyless Remote Security System -Is it that easy?

[IL]

Hi guys!
I've got just one remote control with my VX and would like to have a spare one. I've checked the mentioned "remotesandkeys" web-site, so it looks pretty easy to buy the device but my question is how easy it will be to program this after its purchase. Do they send any manual together with device? Because I've already checked "keyless vehicle security system owner's manual" which is available for downloading here, but haven't found any info regarding the programming process for a new remote control... Somebody has an experience in this area?

Mine included an instruction sheet, but if yours doesn't come with one, no problem I can scan it and email it. It's easy as pie, 10 seconds tops.

Also....DO NOT buy from REMOTESUPERSTORE thru Amazon, the guy lied and never shipped remote & lied more...had to file Amazon claim to get money back.

Also, make sure it says OEM somewhere, or that you specifically ASK that question. I bought one that ended up being a clone, sent it back, I wanted OEM, even though it was used.

Ok, thank you, good to know, will never deal with him! :madg2:
Also, if it would be not so complicated for you, pls send me mentioned manual you've got with your remote. The thing is that one friend of mine has a remote but it was originally from Japanese domestic VX. So I would like to try to program this to work with my VX. Thanks in advance!

Maybe re-programming it may help. These instructions include how to clear a transmitter current memory and reprogram it. I can email you the full instructions and a copy of the Owner's Manual, but here's the part I'm referring to. I couldn't figure out how to attach the .pdf files here.

"To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter four (4) times. This will remove the missing transmitter from memory since only four (4) transmitter codes can be accepted.

Another way to clear a lost of stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes and then reprogram them. Refer to the security system owner's manual."

Save yourself a boat load of trouble and just buy the actual OEM remote from Merlin or IsuzuParts.com instead of those aftermarket joints. I bought my extra/replacement remote about 6 months ago for something like $35 and had it in hand 3-4 days after I placed the order. It takes about 5 minutes to program and you don't really need instructions, just use an ink pen to push-and-hold the green button on the alarm box under the driver's side dash, then keep clicking the remote until it works.

Problem solved.
