ithink you need a signal tho, not too bad tho perhaps if your original fob is half fubard,
That appears to be a garage door closer :shock:

there not just a garage door closer :wink:
ithink ebay made them take the info of car remotes off the listing, they used to be listed for cars
if you look on some other sites china based ones eg chinavasion.com theres more info on them there
they will clone a car key but they need a signal to clone, abit like one of them universal tv remotes

ive seen afew people with them and they open there car doors

You need the key to may a clone of it. There was something like that in the early days of remote central locking but these days the signals step on every time, that's why a remote can go out of synch if you don't use it for a while.

So I've got another long winded question lol. I have the code to cut a new keyblade and I believe the immobiliser is disconnected on my car as the keypad doesn't work and I don't have the 4 digit code for it. So, if I get a new key cut and the blade connected to a new fob, is there anyway I can reset it and get it to work on my car without having to mess about trying to refit the insides of the old keyfob? And as a last resort, if I could get some new keyfob buttons, are they easy to fit or do I need to remove the insides of the fob to get to do it?

Well i saw this :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-BUTTON-PEUG ... 3cc348e2a3

And i'm bit confused.

From what i can see, on interior the two button remotes is exactly the same as the ones with 1 button the only difference two buttons, but the main one is in the middle just like remotes with 1 button only, but i can't understand how i'm supposed to put the battery on a flip case .. because the original case uses some kind of springs that connects to the main board and in the after market cases i don't see them ... So what can i do about it ?

edit:

sorry leestud for using your topic, but well, it's about aftermarket keyfobs too, so don't need another topic about it ;)
