Help!! on an OMEGA Excalibur C4SRS Alarm
 

Hello-
Can anyone please help me with a programming question related to an Excalibur C4SRS Combo Alarm/ Remote Starter that I had installed in my 2000 4Runner back in 2000??? My remote control batteries have gone dead and if I crack open the remote to replace the battery, then I need to reprogram the remote to operate my alarm. I called the company that I bought it from way back in Nov-2000 and they told me they have discontinued the alarm and dont have any documentation on how to reprogram it. Can anyone help me with this? I have the invoice and paid $383 total to have it installed. I really dont want to have to go buy a new alarm just because my remote batteries have gone dead. Please send any responses to my email at mvp33x3@yahoo.com. If you dont want to do that, then please respond to this thread. Thank you!

I have a couple of Viper alarms on my vehicles. I have to change the battery in one of them every 6 months or so. (2way transmitter/receiver)

the Solaris i have changed the battery and did not have to reprogram the remote.

I would call Viper if you have to reprogram. they should have an answer for ya.

Thanks for the response. I made a mistake, it's actually an Omega. The problem is that I can't seem to get a phone number and their website doesn't have my model listed. I had 2 remotes and was unsuccessful at replacing the battery on the first (the remote would not operate once it was opened, even though I see the led light on it light up) so I am afraid to open this one and lose the functionality. Do you know anywhere else that I might find this info? Thanks

Its listed under the generic section.

good luck.

on some alarms, the control unit will switch codes, in essence leaving your dead remote "behind" on the code/channel, so you have to press the arm (arm/disarm if its one button) a few times within a given time period for them to resync. i dont know if yours is that way or not but couldnt hurt.

what u need 2 do
 

Hey man I also have a omega alarm and what i have to do is turn the key to on and in 5 seconds hit the valet button 5 times and ur car should chirp once and when this happens within 10 seconds press the lock button on both of ur remotes and it will re syncronize them to the alarm brain
