Learning Remote Keyfob

I'm after a learning remote keyfob to replace the ones in my NA.

I've check Jaycar and Dick Smith and they only have 3 or 4 button keyfobs. I'd prefer to have just one button (or two - maximum).

Apart from Jaycar and Dick Smith, can anyone suggest where else I might try to find out who sells them?

Cheers

Dependent on the model of alarm, single or rolling code, the one on the right is only a single code.
Single code is good for electric gates and doors, but "most" car alarms use a rolling code.

Something to be aware of.

That's right.

Usually OEM keyfobs with two or more buttons have rolling code. But single button keyfob's are usually single code - which is what came with my Clubman (non-OEM alarm).

Another way to tell if your alarm has a rolling code or not is via the LED indicator. If you press a button and kept it depressed, but the LED indicator only lights up for a brief second or less, then usually that's a rolling code.

Single code alarm usually have a single button keyfob and the LED indicator will continue to light up as long as you depress the button. This continual transmission of the code is what's needed by the learning remote keyfob in order to learn the original frequency.

I'm sure there's a local alarm installed who has a suitable key fob they can program for you.

zombie had a good link with loads of different keyfobs pictured, ill see if he still knows the link.
