This subject has raised its head many times and the short answer is no one yet has found one which is compatible even though some, Transits in particular, look the same.

like Simmo has already stated,this gets tried every year or so by "new" members,i think every possible route has been explored including buying several american ones,sadly though none have turned out to work,i wish you well,but i think you really are trying to flog a dead horse so to speak

The code change on our remote so no one can 'listen in' as it were!

As Craig said we have found no replacement over the years! :-/

If you look on E-Bay you will see that those advertised as 'replacement' say that there is no guarantee AND they will not work with 'rolling codes' which is what the Scorpio has as Daven says. If you can source a unit that does work you'll probably become a hero!!. ;D
