Key Fob Syncronising

[Wingco]

Does anyone know how to syncronise a fob. I have recently acquired an additional fob and would like to add it to my system

Depends on the system you have

Carl Baker at www.tvruk.tv, he's the man, super nice guy, absolute expert on TVR alarms and loads of other TVR electrics.

Ill second that, Carl sorted mine out in minutes when neither of my Key fobs worked.

Here y'are....

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 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.

(edited to add: this is the procedure for a Meta system fob.)

Thanks for the info it worked perfectly unfortunately, the fob appears not to work.

I did notice that the TVR logo on the button is the opposite way round to my fobs, might this be significant?

I too have had problems synchronising a new fob, whilst I was able to re-synscronise an old one easily.

Did you manage to make it work? If so, how did you do it my new fob just seems to have no effect although I can syncronize my two originals exactly as described in the previous post.

The new fob has to be matched exactly to the Alarm... I believe for the Meta 99T there are 8 possible 'keycode slots' and you can't use the same slot for 2 fobs, each fob must be coded to the alarm and to an individual slot.

If the fob doesn't comply with the above, then no matter what you try it will never code in. What yon need to do is remove the alarm unit and send it, and the keyfobs off to someone like Carl Baker for reprogramming.

Where did you get the new fob from, and did you qoute the correct alarm code at the time?
