Remote fob.

My '98 V6 has factory fitted remote locking but the fob is playing up. It uses batteries at the rate of at least one a month so something is wrong.
TV remotes can be bought that learn from the original, are the equivalent available for vehicle remotes? If not, is it possible to get a new fob programmed for my Bongo and how much is it likely to cost?

Would like to know if any of these work on bongo. How do you know which one to try?

Just taken my fob apart and there's no clue as to what frequency it is. It's made by Naldec so you may be able to contact them or do some research online.
Having said that, for £4.95 plus postage you could just buy one of the universal remotes from Amazon and if it doesn't work you won't be massively out of pocket (and we'd all know not to bother trying
). As far as I can see from the photos, the compatible remotes all look to be for gates, garage doors and the like rather than vehicles.

Remote central locking kits are cheap, and you only need to fit an actuator to the drivers door. So for around £20.00 you get 2 remotes and a lil bit of work..........

You should be able to wire into the existing actuator fairly easily. Don't know if it's 2 or 4 wire without checking the wiring diagram.
Just done a bit of googling for Naldec and this came up for recoding the remote on a 323 which may possibly work on a Bongo:

Ordered the one at £4.95, lets see if it lives up to its promises.

I should have spotted this earlier, but in Europe the 433-434MHz band is often used for Remote Fobs, however this band is NOT used in Japan so anything imported will NOT use the standard fobs used in Europe.
If you have a choice then always prefer equipment using the 866MHz band, over the 433-434MHz band in Europe, there is likely to be a lot less interference on 866MHz, which means you won't suffer a jammed receiver when you return to the vehicle which is not an un-common experience for those using 433-434MHz !
