You havent tried fixing it? I am tearing mine apart trying to fix it, because I lost one, and the current one I have is exhibiting very strange phenomena.
Send it to me

You know, you guys could always just replace the alarm. Even a $25 model from JC Whitney, with working remotes, would be better than not having one at all. The passive arming feature is really useless anyway, because you can pull the horn relay in less than 30 seconds. I know, I had to do this one day when the remote's batteries died at a parking lot and I couldn't get a replacement without getting in the car! I've yet to be unhappy with my current Alpine system, except for when my girlfriend lost the pager! Oh, and the remote uses a standard CR2025 watch battery that can be found anywhere and lasts a couple of years even with daily use.
Yeah I know, I'm being snobby. KuoH |

I am the original owner of my '(& LSi. Bot6h remote fobs work. The only trouble I had was the bad dealership by my house screwed up the remote on the car's third service and had to give me a new one. Also replacing the tiny batteries in one of the fobs was a royal pain in the a*s. I have fat fingers. Now I use the single Radio Shack battery.
Both fobs work on my '92 LSL. I even painted one fob and one key pearl white with cheap nail polish so I would not confuse them with the fob & key for my '97. Larry III PS: Does having 2 SVXes make a person "Bisvxual"? Not that there's anything wrong with that. |

I bought my new keyfob after I'd had the car for about a year. Still operating on the original battery pack. I ordered a second, used, fob about 6 months later. I installed a battery and it's still going strong.
