Hi everyone,
I have a1999 MGF SE VVC, and I want to get a new remote fob.
Rimmers seem to list two different parts, and I don't know how to tell which one matches my car.
The first one they list is part number YWX101220A. It is for 433MHz alarm.
The second one listed is for 315MHz alarm.
How can I tell which one I need?
Many thanks!
Crash dummy.

Re: MGF Remote fob
Japanese are 315mhz, I think Australia is the same.
It should say on the back of your fob.

Re: MGF Remote fob
Yes, the Australian market cars along with Japanese market, were 315MHz. If your car was native to those markets, that is the one to get.
You can also check what you have. See http://mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/DIY/se ... /index.htm - your existing fob will have a transmitter/resonator with a code printed on it - 1239 resonator signifies a 315MHz transponder, and 1207 a 433MHz unit.

Hi all
I am in Victoria, Australia and have purchased two used fobs - does anyone know where I can get them programmed for my car?
Thanks
Tim

Re: MGF Remote fob
Anyone with a pscan can do it (worth buying one if you are intending to keep the car for a while - it'll soon pay for itself )

Where would I buy one from?
Thanks again

Tim,
I know a good guy in Pascoe Vale who has a T4 and can program the fobs. Would that work for you?
Cheers,
