Same here, Sep 96 Ultima ;)

I love these remotes, bought a replacement and the range is even worse than the old one despite it being unused :)

A rebuild session with new batts and some kepad resotrer beckons ;)

Love hurts mate, with me it was the other way around ;)

Car played up, remote got tossed (yes I admit my last remote fob was the vitcim of my temper), car alarms screaming at 2AM don't please me...

Me and the new fob have an mutual understanding that I respect it as long as it respects my car's doors/tailgate.

Bruce ;).

Bruce, yep it sure hurts but now I can lock and unlock my Explorer (wicked car btw and not much thirstier than my ultima was) from a distance which makes for a much happier family!

Standing outside in the rain trying to get into the scorpio wasn't a great deal of fun.

The great thing about the X is that with the 5 speed box and 4 litre V6 lump it really can shift when you want it to!

Highly recommended - and I got TWO working remotes with it!!
