Hi all,
Some where over the last couple of days either on the forum or the list there was a question about a after market alarm and non ford remote.
If i was't dreaming this, is it possible to use a non Ford remote with the doors / alarm

hi
yes there was some "toying" with the idea,however the one from the transit does not work,and neither does the universal one from maplins.....
so it does look like the your only choice is the original ford scorpio one.......
i'm thinking that it is all down to the frequency that the remotes use,hence it has to be the original one...
HTH

I can hear my other cars (and others) remotes on 433.920 +/-, but not the Scorps - so what frequency is it on?

Yep, companies like Scorpion can supply and fit remote locking/immobiliser /alarm systems to Fords and any other cars that don't have it fitted as standard.

Which I suspect would be a very complex job due to the multiplexed nature of the wiring system.

There have also been numerous problems caused by 'aftermarket' alarms even those fitted by 'experts'. Be very wary.

I remember fitting a remote Locking/movement sensor Alarm system to a AUDI 80 ( which had factory fitted central locking ).
Done it in an afternoon, though the movement sensor was way too sensitive and would trip the alarm at the merest air disturbance.

Had an aftermarket alarm on the Scorpio when bought, didn't really work well with it. Was a decent make alarm but, as above, the Scorpio is complex enough without adding to it. I would guess that some alarms are better suited to the Scorpio that others.

I have a Defa system with movement sensor/glass break sensor/etc, and never had any problems. Wind/weather/etc. has never been a problem. So I guess they're not all bad.
