Lost only car remote, how?

[TheDuckster]

Hi there, long time since i disappeared.

Came back with issue: i lost my spare car remote. Is there a DIY for programming a new remote, or any recommendations for a shop that can do that for below 200? Or have to change to a new alarm? If really have to, any recommendations for aftermarket alarm?
Help much appreciated.

For ordinary car like proton......just change the whole set, i.e remotes, alarms system. Won't cost a bomb. Can be installed easily at acc. shops.

For recent conti car, like merc, Audi, etc.....this should be solved at the authorised centre. Bring lots of money along.
A fren of mine lost his ori (one and only remote) for his new Fiat. A new set of remote would cost him Rm900.00. Believe it?

Suggest you to go for the 1st option. Simple set will be about 100 to 150 ringgit range.

Can go to lock smith. Those that does car alarm remote. They can clone one for you, since you still have the other set......

yeah that is right, if you still have a ori remote...have it cloned to another new remote. This can be done at car locksmith.

But if both ori remote gone, then have to install a new alarm set. Or use car key to lock the doors (can't activate car security alarm)

Last time my accessory shop guy can even tune my remote to the alarm, but that time was Cobra alarm that came with the car I bought second hand. Not sure if those OEM alarm can do that or not....:rolleyes:

Nearest Hyundai service centre said it's over 400, and nearest acc. shop have 300+ for alarm systems, so i dunno which other shop to go to. Any acc. shop/ Hyundai service centre recommendations? all i need is lock, unlock, and mute or unmute :s:

spare car remote, that is the only one. and it's the ori alarm :-;

If your i10 has an immobiliser, then it's better to go back to Hyundai for the fob.

if not mistaken most stock basic alarm system have a relearn node for new remote but not all shop kbows how to do it.
i know this as my sis kenari has the function and its written in the owners manual how to do it.

aftermarket alarm price for a basic reliable steelmate start as low as rm100.

there should be no immobiliser if im still driving it with a handmade key...but then again, there is a flashing light beside what looks like a good spot for a push-start button. so i'm not sure

I don't know about Hyundai, but for Toyota and Nissan, it only recognises 2 sets of key fobs. There's a sequence to enable the alarm learning mode, the manual should advise. Buying the key fob won't be cheap, for Toyota I got it for 160, came with free programming which didn't quite work out because the instructions the shop used was outdated and I had to whip out the manual to figure it out myself to help the shop, so the owner gave me another 10 bucks off.

Mind you - it will render the missing key fob useless. Just remember to change the door keyhole otherwise it'll still be a risk unless you're sure it's 'missing' at home and not anywhere else.

But to tell you the truth, I've seen a lock smith replace the whole key system for an Estima in 10 minutes. With new keys and all even when the car had lost ALL their keys. Keys and immobilisers are just for show man.

This is a long shot. I was wondering why the car had only one keyfob. Was this a second hand car? Some cars which were previously repossessed come with only one fob. I wonder if contacting the previous owner may help.

So right now, is it more advisable to get a new OEM or aftermarket alarm system? coz i already stated above that this is a secondhand Hyundai, and the fob i had was the second one: previous owner lost the main one. I really hope that it can recognize a third one or i'm able to reset the current system, coz it should be cheaper if so.

Probably before changing the whole alarm system, you can ask the locksmith and/or accessory shop whether a spare can be done?
