Does anyone know how to programe a new key fob to this alarm? I have called gap security as they fitted it for me a few years ago and they will not help as I did not buy the new fob off of them!! There is nothing in the instructions to help me out either...

Yeah thats it thanks mate. I have got this booklet at home but I cant for the life of me find where it says about linking the alarm with a new key fob... Can you point it out for me as I appear to be an idiot!

try this.........

Step 1: Open a door. (a car door... your car ;) )
Step 2: Put the key in the ignition and turn it to the "Run" position.
Step 3: Push & release the program button (the black button in your car - usually located under dash or driver's kick panel) once and then release.
Step 4: Push & hold the program button in (keep holding).
(Unit -should- chirp once)
Step 5: Press and release a button on your remote (this button will be your arm/disarm button)
Step 6: Release the program button.
Step 7: Press & Release the program button.
Step 8: Press & Hold the program button (do not release).
(unit should chirp twice)
Step 9: Press button2 (or the other button) on your remote.
Step 10: Release program button.
Step 11: Turn key off.
(Unit should emit a long chirp to confirm)

Let me know how it works.
