Does anyone know what the 12 digits and 2 letters are inside the case of the meta alarm keyfobs?
The reason being my only key fobs just died and i dont have the alarm code card thingy.

Talk to Carl Baker: http://www.tvruk.tv/index.cfm

I only had one fob and no code card: he reset the alarm with a new code and two new fobs that are loads better than the old ones (i.e. they don't have a stupid bit of hinged plastic, and they work from about 10 foot away).

It was about £130 including VAT, I think. Money well spent!

Meatball,
If you have no working key fob you have no option but send to Carl Baker for a reprogram.
Did mine last year and cost about £160 with 2 fobs and a new plastic code card. Quick turn around too.
If you have a working fob you can order new ones but you need a the working fob to put the alarm system into learn mode to learn the new fob codes.
Take the dash top off and remove the Alarm module.(near side) The car should still be usable in this condition.
Mine was anyway, you just can't lock it.
Cheers.
Paul.

Also, there is a good chance the new fob won't program in (even if you have quoted the number from the card) as TVR's records were all over the place when it comes to which alarm was fitted to which car... IMHO

I made this mistake and eventually sent the unit to Carl for reprogramming and 2 x new fobs.

They will re programme if you have the red card and an existing working fob.
