No alarm fob?

Postby rainbow999 » Thu Feb 16, 2012 11:36 pm

Hi just recently got my gen3 car, but didn't come with alarm/central locking fob so need to lock car with key but this doesnt activate alarm :(

Now insurance requesting proof Immob approved is fitted :evil:

Whats cheaper getting dealer to supply new fob for my car & cert of alarm fitted or get new one fitted independently? :roll:

A common question, search button would give you the answer ;) - click here to see a recent thread.

It is very possible that the reason as to why the key didnt come with the fob, is that your coupe may have a scorpion alarm, these are prone to having issues - if you have a black D shaped cylinder thingy under the bonnet it is a scorpion alarm. No point getting a fob. Best bet would be to get a new alarm fitted

The Immobiliser is part of the ECU and part of the car. The evidence is that it is a Gen 3 Hyundai Coupe! This is seperate from the Alarm issue completely. Alarm itself should make no difference to Insurance!

:yeahthat

99.9% sure the alarm has been disconnected due to it being faulty. DO NOT whatever you do take it to a Hyundai Dealer for this problem. A scorpion/alarm specialist will not touch it unless they want to rip you off! They are pretty much unfix-able.

Ignoring all the off topic stuff about the fog light there is a really good explanation on the problems with the scorpion alarm from 'The Dupleman' in this thread!

Rob has linked above to a thread that describes what most people are doing now. Just getting fitted/or fitting themselves a system that just locks and unlocks the doors! Either that or get a complete new alarm fitted but that will obviously cost more!

Had your welcome post been 'I'm thinking of buying a Gen 3 what shall I look out for' this would have been top of the list in the replies!

Seriously buddy I know this is a social experience on here as well and members are willing put themselves out to help but stuff like this we have covered time and time and time and time and time again. Just try and use the search feature before asking!
