Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi folks, dunno that this is the right section for this, but...

Just wondering how I'd go about getting another alarm remote for my car.
It's a factory fitted alarm. When I got the car ('00 Grand Vitara) the bloke I bought it off had only one remote.


(sorry, crappy photo)

It's a pain when the missus needs to move my car when I'm out or if I lose it etc. It'd just be easier with another remote.
Is there aftermarket things you can 'tune' to the right frequency or would I need to pay through the nose to get a suzuki factory remote?
I'm yet to do any research on-line and got home too late to call a suzuki dealer.

My knowledge in this area is very limited, any help appreciated!
Cheers,
Pete

That is a Vision brand aftermarket remote pictured. They supply remote systems that are fitted in Australia with the brand of the car on the remote. Autobarn stores stock Vision products. I googled vision but only came up with Steves car alarms as a Vision stockist.

Good Luck.

Thanks mate.

So does that mean I can just buy one off the shelf and use it?
Do they need to 'learn' like tv/surround-sound remotes?
As I said, I know nothing about this.
So head straight to Autobahn and ask for a vision remote to suit yeah?
Any rough idea of cost?

Cheers,
Pete

These are generally rolling code remotes so one off the shelf will work but it will need to be programmed to suit your car. I found this link for Vision so you could contact them but I think they may only deal with the trade directly so they may be able to refer you to an installer/store in your area.
