svx remote
i've searched this topic but couldn't find an answer. so can my 94 ls work with the remote to unlock my doors? i was wondering because i was under the impression that you had to have the securety system for it to work right.
|
You do have to have the security system, but there are all sorts of aftermarket security systems that are easy to install that allow remote keyless entry. Because you have power doors, it is easy to set up.
|
i knew this but i wanted to keep it oem well i guess not:(
|
First, does your SVX have the security system? You can tell if you have a switch (push button) on the left hand side of the steering wheel.
Next, if you do and you don't have a remote, you can buy them from a dealership if you want to keep it stock. If you don't care, you can buy a different one on ebay which is a good one and it is cheaper. :) |

I think the only "push button" I see is the one that brightens the clock light. |
On the dash, below the instrument cluster, with the cruise control and fog lamp buttons.

Sorry for the confusion. To the left of the steering wheel. :o It should be next to the cruse control and the closest one to the steering column. :)

Anybody with a non-security car wanna rip into their dash/trunk??? I have a security module and button. |

USDM cars already have the power door lock motors, so all the security module does is pulse the door lock timer module (same function as the lock/unlock button next to the gear shift lever on 1993 and up MYs). To others who find this thread — even if you have the Security button, it's always possible that the security module has died (common problem) or was removed. |
Where is the security module located? Close to the switch? My 92 Ebony has a aftermarket alarm (that doesnt work) and they disabled the factory one. I would rather have the factory one to work right now.

On cars without a passenger airbag, it is located in the space where the passenger airbag would go. To get to it, you need to remove about 30 assorted screws and bolts to remove the glove box door and the glove box box. Then look up in the opening and to the right side is a black box mounted to the heavy steel bar with 2x10mm headed bolts.
On cars with a passenger airbag, the module is located under the rear parcel shelf, between the speakers. You can get to it relatively easy from the trunk. |

The people who installed your alarm could have disabled the factory system by removing it. You'll have to look to see if it's still there. There's also no telling what wires they may have cut to install the aftermarket system, so you might need to do some repairs if you remove that. I suggest trying to figure out what's wrong with the aftermarket system. Could be something as simple as a fuse. There are typically a couple of inline fuses on the wires near the alarm "brain." |

Thanks. |

Arg, I had a stock alarm but they PO removed it when he got the Viper installed:mad: |
Well, I think mine was removed also. I looked up/behind the glovebox and the only unit there was the cruise control and heater stuff. Now to take the Claret apart and remove it. I know its there and works.

ok about these alarms mine has both the factory box and a aftermarket one so how do i know which is conected , as my blinkers,immoboliser etc activate but no siren/horn make any noise .one clue iv got is one flash of the blinkers sets and two flashes disables??.. plus i seem to have another box conectd by ties to the steering coloum wth a red led & a green led in it and two little dails one white one black that each can move to four positions ,have laid on the floor looking and the little leds dont go when i set or trip the alam etc??

Since we are on this alarm kick I have a question. I am purchasing the factory/oem module for the alarm but I have an aftermarket one in my car that only unlocks the doors and kills the ignition( ignition shutoff, no siren ,no horn). My question is, do I need to disable the old alarm before pluging in the factory one?

If the only problem with your aftermarket alarm is the lack of a remote, a new remote will cost less than an OEM security module (even a used one). The aftermarket system will likely have better functionality than the OEM. If you'd prefer to have a horn honk instead of the siren, most aftermarket systems can do that. The aftermarket brain will almost certainly be underneath the dash, near the steering column. Bring a flashlight, throw a pillow on your pedals, and crawl under the wheel and take a look. You should be able to find it. Very few installers take the time to disassemble the dash to bury it further, but some do a better job of hiding them than others. Once you find the brain, you can read the model number and any other identifying information. At the very least, take some pictures. You should also find a hidden valet/programming pushbutton nearby (connected by a twisted pair of wires, via a 2-pin plug). Then you can try a new remote with it. Most stores that will sell you the remote will help you program the brain to accept it. But once you get the make and model number, I can probably get the installation and owners manuals (online downloads). As I said earlier, if you really want to switch to an OEM module, you're going to have to undo any damage from the aftermarket installation. There's a good chance it includes a starter kill that you'll need to fix. |

Does it have anything written or embossed on it? Brand name, model number, serial number, etc.? How many wires connect to it? (most aftermarket alarm brains have several harnesses, each with 2, 3, or many wires). Pictures might help us identify it. Although if it's something more commonly sold in your hemisphere, a local car alarm shop may have better luck identifying it. What problem are you trying to solve? Are you just trying to figure out what you have, or does something not work that you want to fix? |

As I wrote above, if you will be removing an aftermarket alarm, you'll probably need to reverse some of the wiring changes the installer made, especially if it had starter kill. But I recommend trying to troubleshoot the aftermarket system first. It may only be a small problem, and would probably be much less expensive to fix than switching to an OEM module. |

I can pull the module out of my Teal and try that. But after my last experience with the glove box removel, I'm not in a bug hurry to do it again :rolleyes: |

I'm guessing one or the other side of where the battery contacts are:):confused: |
Re: svx remote
Is that now attached to the metal strip I see going across the cover.
Just a guess , I think it attaches to nothing. That may be the antenna. |

Re: svx remote
In photo 2, it would be the top right corner. And just to confirm, there is a "+" and "-" on the rear case behind where the battery goes.

Re: svx remote
On a side note.. has anyone EVER used the PIN-option to open the door?
The only use I can see for it is if you lock your keys into the car but that's a bit difficult, I guess. How do I reset and make a new PIN anyway? |

In any case, I believe only NZDM, JDM, and maybe AUDM received the "morse code" type keyless entry as an option. |
