Title: key fob
Post by hillbilly on Dec 14^th, 2005, 10:54am

Went down to my local ford dealer this morning to buy a new key fob he said that he could get me one in 2 hrs and at the cost of £97.77 + £25 :o :o to set it to the car i must look like a mug or is this a good price for a new fob

Hello ! in my country (Romania) a new scop remote fob is about £170 and this is with a discount !!!!!!!. Programing cost's extra ....never botherd to ask how much. So in the comming years i'll use the keys and the aftermarket alarm :P

Anyway programing could be done in 5 minutes by everyone. Thats the good thing. ::)

i don't recomand you an aftermarket alarm, all that i'll do to you is mess with the car electrics, have aditional power comsumption, you will also lose functionability like tailboot remote opening etc. etc. The scorpio si not designed to go well with another alarm.....i had lots and lots of problems because of that, and that fuel cap gave me the headache !!!! So better buy a remote fob from e-bay or something.
