I have a '92 BMW 525i (automatic) with an aftermarket CodeAlarm system already installed when I bought it. Well the range always sucked for the remote fob (you basically have to be right next to the door to chirp it, or maybe 10-15ft on a good day) but now it refuses to disarm. I get no response from the remote.
Which, by the way, is actually a Remocon LRT1 like this one. Don't know if that matters or not. The range issue existed regardless, whether or not I used a CodeAlarm-original 2-button remote.
So now I can't drive anywhere (including work tomorrow) because I can't start my car--if I unlock and open the door, the alarm is triggered for ~60sec, then rearms if the door is closed or starts again if still open. And though I doubt the battery is dead (the green LED lights the same as it always did) I can't get another battery for my remote as a precaution because the size is nonstandard and would probably require a Radio Shack, which would require a car.
Grr.
