Alarm Just Stopped Working

[cosmokram3r]

Hey guys, i had my alarm controller and it used to always work, but then out of no where it just stopped working properly.. sometimes i would just have to click unlock over and over for a minuite till it finally opens.. then it just stopped working altogether.. then i lost my keys lol.. but ive got the replacement controller here (different to the first one but came with the car).. and it still doesnt work.. now i press buttons and it just does nothing.. ive already replaced the battery with a brand new one but still nothing.. anyone know how i can fix this? dont know which place it was installed from when i bought the car so yehh dont really like locking the car with the key and not having the alarm on so any suggestions would be great

thanks

what car alarm is it if you know the brand and they still make them you should be able to get a new controller ordered then you just need to find out the procedure for getting it programmed is it an autowatch by any chance?

thats the thing i dont have anything that i can find out the brand i dont think, the remotes were like cheaply made.. it says CARSCOP around the screen.. i know the guy that sold it to me said it cost him $700ish to install the alarm.. anywhere i can check the brand?

if i cant find the brand could i go to an alarm place and get them to give me just any controller and programm it?

forget it- bin it and go again. that is a EBAY one. not remotes for it.

I agree just get another one

damn didnt realise it was so cheapo.. think i might get a mongoose m80g.. thats $190 + installation which is what $200ish?

I've been quoted $680 for M80G in Melbourne, if I was in Sydney I'd get PPI to do it for $430 installed.
