Viktor Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Guys, I have bought a second remote key, at this time I wasn't aware of the different frequencies related to different countries, anyway. I bought this second key, mine was working ok, I just wanted to have the second key, during programming since the second key was of a differrent region probably the alarm ECU thought that the vehicle was being stolen hence it went into alarm state. I lost the ability to us my original key and the second. My question is this, does some one know how to reset the alarm ECU so to be able to reprogramme it? I thank you in anticipation, those who wish besides the forum can contact me at victor.mifsud@mfa.com.mt. regards, Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest noggy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 this is highly unlikely, otherwise, if you parked a american spec rangie next to a english spec and tryed to unlock it, it would set the others alarm off. there are different frequencies for different country's, but they wouldn't interfere at all another vehicle. when you park in a car park, and lock your car, you dont set off 50 car alarms do you. nor do all English range rover central locking keys open/lock all other range rovers. your best bet is to go to your local LR dealer. or call them out.

Ally V8 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think in your situation the best way forward is to either buy another alarm ecu that is in an unlocked state,or send your ecu to www.remotekey.com in the UK - they can unlock it for you and possibly code your fobs to it.

Viktor Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi Guys, Thanks for your intervention. I'll try to contact the key company to see if they can do the job for me. In the mean time I'm still listening to suggestions. Regards, Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viktor Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi, Its a November 1994 classic. The programme is as follows: 1. Ignition OFF 2. Doors unlocked 3. Bonnet Up (open bonnet) 4. Hold bonnet button down……Next sequence must be completed within 8 seconds. 5. Switch Ignition ON 6. Switch Ignition OFF 7. Lock Doors 8. Unlock Doors 9. Release bonnet button 10. Switch Ignition ON 11. Switch Ignition OFF If operation is correct the Horn will go on and LED will Flash. Next sequence must be computed within 2 minutes. Hold button on remote control down (ON) until LED Flushes. Any other suggestions, please I need help! Thanks Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is happening when I arrive at point 6, as soon as I switch on the ignition the horn will sound and vehicle goes into alarm state and the key programming is not possible. I'm thinking that there must be some porcedure to reset alarm unit to neutral state because I think it is in an alarm state. Thanks again, Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vougese39 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 there is no reset procedure and if you disconnect the alarm when it is connected it stays in the state it was when it was disconnected. would suggest a new alarm unit or asecound hand one with a remote that works and the correct fequency for malta which i think is uk 433mhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
