Chim Alarm

[alan_pickering]

Could someone give me a quick piece of advice please. I have a 2000 Chim with (I assume) a META M99T alarm system. The batteries in one of my remotes has failed so I have replaced them.
How do I reset the key to the car system?.
Advice would be much appreciated.

If your just replacing the batteries in the key fob you don't have to, well I haven’t had to on the last two occasions.

I believe the Meta system uses rolling codes so all you need to do is resynchronise the transmitter and receiver. I was told you do this by just holding the button on the transmitter in fo as long as it takes. Don't press harder, just keep the button depressed. The transmitter will cycle through its codes until the receiver understands, and at that point the doors will lock (or unlock). From there on everything should be fine.

Hi Alan,

This is the procedure I had to follow when I got a new fob - hope it helps.

Meta Alarm Fob Resynching Procedure


1) You must have a working fob.

2) With the working fob, activate/deactivate the alarm 8 times (i.e. 8 x on, and 8 x off) the alarm will not take any more actions beyond this anyway. All other fob details will be deleted at this point (apart from the one used for the 16 actions).

3) Within 8 seconds, activate the new fob, the system will respond with a change of state (it may require a couple of attempts), the details of the new fob are then added to the data held by the system unit.

4) Any other fobs you wish to use must also be activated at this time (apart from the one used in point 2).

5) Leave the system quiet for 8 secs plus.

6) Your new fob(s) and the original one will now be synchronised with the system.

The technician did warn me that meta systems can only take 3 fobs i.e. two original fobs plus one replacement fob, but I suspect this means a total of three fobs in the list of usable fobs.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Guys
Sorry I did not feed back sooner.
The 16 clicks and 'away' process worked like a dream.
Also I have replaced bats in the working handset and in that case did not have to reload.
Tried the 'keep pressing till it responds' method and this did not seem to work. Maybe my lack of patience!.
Anyhow Many Thanks to all contributotors for sound and friendly advice.
