HELP! Lost Powerlock keyfob!

[Donas64]

I took the dog running yesterday and lost my powerlock keyfob! I would really like this replaced as I've already had my car broken into once.

I called the dealership and they quoted me $64 for a new keyfob and $45 to program it (Which they said would deactivate my old one). Thats over $100!!!!

Do I have any options to get this done for cheaper? Can I buy this thing online and how hard is it to program?

Please help, I don't want to spend $100 on this stupid thing!

dude, you have 4500+ posts and you've been here for almost 3 years

NOT going to give you a break.... GO SEARCH!

[Donas64]

Well I "searched" on ebay and found several fobs. I actually found some threads on here dealing with it to but I want to know if any fob will work or does it have to match my car or something. Also I've seen conflicting posts on weather programming 1 new for or 2 will make my old one non-functional.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

[mp3-79bronco]

get one off ebay, and then it comes with instructions on how to program it takes like 5 mins

[Donas64]

thanks. I'm working on doing it right now.

[Donas64]

I'm about to order one but I'm not sure if it's compatible with my vehicle. It says to check the back of your current remote but my current remote is lost. What is the easiest way to check if what I'm ordering is compatible?

Thanks.

in all fairness, the search feature has gone down in quality quiet a bit, even putting highly detailed criteria gives 20+ pages of results

Yeah that's exactly the problem I have, nobody wants to scroll through pages and pages to get an answer, and sometimes you then have to scroll through pages of a specific thread to get the answer, that can hardly be considered user friendly.

Thanks for the sympathy guys. Searching gets annoying when all you get is a ton of info to sift through. I ordered a fob of ebay for $13 shipped. Hopefully I can figure out how to program it and it works with my car.

My wife has a 2003 MP5 and we bought an extra remote from ebay and used the programing instructions given and it works fine.

Much appreciated. I love these forums sooooooooooo much!

Peoples info on here has saved me a ton in repair costs. You guys rock!

I've found searching on these forums to be much easier if you go this route:

Search>Advanced Search>Enter key words>Hit dropdown for "Search titles only"

much less dribble to go through.

Hi, a little off topic but... I just bought a used 2002 MP5 yesterday and the original owner said he didn't have a remote entry key fob. Is this an option or standard on all MP5's?

[evilmonkeyMSP]

standard

i have the directions too, if you need them.

Thanks Joe. Vel posted them on the previous page. I'll give those a shot. Hopefully it all works fine.

Now to change the locks on the house.

[Donas64]

Well I got the remote today and tried to program it to no avail. I think I got one thats not compatible with my car or something. My dealer said the visteon numbers on the back did not match.

That was the whole purpose of me starting this thread was to make sure I was ordering a key that was compatible with my car.

Is there any way to guarantee what i'm odering is compatible with my vehicle?

The instructions to program the remote seemed to work though. Remote just did not respond.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

bad battery? was it a used remote? might have been bad....

3 X turn key to on (do not start) then off
3 x push the button inside the door
wait for cycle
click lock on the new remote twice
close door and wait for it to cycle through the locks/unlocks

that no workie?

when I push button inside the door, am I pushing lock or unlock? am I following a particular sequence?

My car was locking and unlocking the doors to signal that I was programming the lock but the remote never responded.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

the button you're pushin on the door isnt the lock/unluck button. Its the little button that is on the inside of the door jam. its the little button that depresses so the car knows the door is closed.

[Donas64]

hmmmmmmmmm.......all this time I thought I should be pushing the lock unlock button. I was not aware of the existence of this little button. I'll have to find it when I try to program it again.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

yep, thats the button you push and just follow the list I put up :)

[Donas64]

I'll give this a try

page 14 for the actual instructions for this...but what I posted is the same thing :D I just reprogrammed one over the weekend.

I also have 1 remote that works on the P5 and the MSP hehe

[mx-p5]

yeah, it's a little black dot on the lower side of the door jam by your butt

and, if it doesn't work, check the battery


and, as to your car getting broken into, your car is still programmed to the lost remote, so, the possibility is still someone to get into your car with that lost remote

Yeah. I'm a little worried about that, but I have insurance so I guess that gives me some peace of mind. I just won't leave any valuables in it.


So I tried to program it again. I found the button. I had been hitting it all along (by opening and closing door instead of just pushing it)

But I think I figured out my problem. Ebay seller said remote was compatible with protege5 but apparently , it's a Mazda 3 keyfob so it will not work with my car. I'm going to sell locally to a friend and purchase a new remote.

My final question is do I have to worry about the FCC ID or the model number on the back of the remote? I'm looking for model number 41706

[evilmonkeyMSP]

the remote should look the same as the one you had to begin with. to my knowledge the 3 keyfob looks nothing like the proteges.

I saw that. But the fact that its a refurbishsed unit bothered me. Should I be worried?

[Donas64]

Also the dealer pulled up a remote that had an FCC ID of KPU-41706, the one I found on ebay is 41704. I'm not sure if the FCC ID's need to match up.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

the one in the ebay link will work

Thats the one then.

[Donas64]

got the new fob & programmed it. Worked great. Except that when I took the keys out of the ignition the final time, noting happened. I expected the car to lock and unlock itself.

But regardless, it seems to be working fine. Thanks for all the help.

[turdb0]

I got mine too and worked fine. The panic button blares the horns. But I noticed there's no factory alarm. I had the window rolled down and locked the car. When I reached in with my hand to unlock and open the door, there's no blaring horns. Weird... Thought they would at least have that feature.

[Donas64]

nope. No alarm for us. I thought they would have had one too.

[i12drivemyMP5]

nope. No alarm for us. I thought they would have had one too.
Yes, there is a factory alarm upgrade that is plug & play that adds all 5 door entry coverage, starter kill, shock sensor for glass breakage & an LED. It uses the horn instead of a siren. Scored NIB for 47.00 off ebay awhile back. One of the best things I've done for it. People have complained about it sucking but have had no problems with mine. Uses same key fob. Made by codealarm. I may have pic of the kit with part number on it, lemme check.............

It's an upgrade though right? It does not come standard.

[i12drivemyMP5]

It's an upgrade though right? It does not come standard.Nope, not standard. All you do is unplug some connections on the wiring harness & the alarm harness has 2 plugs to plug in in between the other wiring harness. Only 1 single wire was a splice connector you squeeze onto a parking light wire then the alarm harness plugged into that. Only other thing was drillin a hole for the LED wherever you want it to be. I had a foglight panel blank that had an LED in already that I replaced the coin holder with. I just pulled that LED out since it was connected to nothing & popped the alarm upgade LED into the hole. Clip the alarm harness for the trunk pin swith on MSPs & hook the other part of that to your door pin switch on the front door. Did some test procedure in the instructions & that was it.
