To configure the car alarm key fob pager, you need to perform a series of sequential actions with buttons located both on the communicator itself and on the main unit. You need to know how to configure the Tomahawk key fob for a specific model of the anti-theft system. As a rule, flashing the remote control consists of the following steps:
- the car opens;
- by pressing the button located on the main unit, enter the service setup mode;
- turn on the ignition;
- the Jack button is pressed and held until a sound signal appears;
- after that, on the remote control itself, click the key marked “close” and hold it until a signal appears;
- then the ignition key is removed.
For these actions to bring a positive result, you will need to wait a while, get out of the car and perform a check. Not all key fob models are flashed in this way. Each anti-theft system has its own instructions, according to which the remote control is configured.
Having performed the correct adaptation, you can gain access to various alarm functions: auto engine start by time, temperature, etc.
Features of Tomahawk key fobs
The main advantage of the system's key fobs is their full functionality. The remote controls provide the user with complete control over the device and allow you to set any operating mode.
An additional bonus is the complete interchangeability of the main and spare remote control.
Functional
Depending on the device model, the Tomahawk alarm remote control offers a complete list of options and commands. From here you can program or activate the options:
- security mode;
- arming and disarming;
- activation/disabling of the immobilizer;
- setting time, alarm clock.
Button meaning
Tomahawk key fobs have 4 to 5 buttons. Each key has its own meaning and function. At the same time, the exact meaning of the controls may vary, which is due to the difference in the functionality of the modifications.
Also, all keys can be used in combinations, which completely changes their functionality.
Meaning of pictograms
The situation is similar with pictograms. Each icon is responsible for indicating a specific mode, its activation and system state. The exact meaning of the pictures can be found in the alarm user manual.
How to determine the model
The appearance of the key fob will help the car enthusiast understand which model. All remote controls are rectangular in shape with a protruding antenna in a plastic case. Common features are common to all Tomahawk designs.
Among the distinctive features of the models are:
- antenna location;
- display size;
- position and appearance of buttons.
It is possible to understand exactly which alarm model the car owner is facing only by knowing all the differences and features of the remote controls. Compatibility of key fobs complicates the determination - some units are interchangeable.
The main difference is the markings on the back of the remote control, but the indices are quickly erased and are not applied to all remote controls.
How to determine the model by keychain
You can recognize the alarm model by the appearance of the remote control housing and by the icons on the display:
- TW-7010. It stands out among the rest by the presence of silver inserts in the edging of the keychain. The remote control also has a removable antenna made of black plastic.
- TW-9010. The device is equipped with an asymmetrically shaped antenna fused with the body and differs from others by a set of icons on the screen. On the right side of the key fob there is an “eye” for attaching the remote control to a bunch of keys.
- TW-9020 and TW-9030. The remote controls in this series have the same body as the TW-9010, but the image of the car on the display is the same as that of the TW-7010.

Self-programming of the new Tomahawk remote control
Setting up a switch for the Tomahawk family of alarm systems is not particularly difficult. Almost all communicators in this line operate at a radio frequency of 433 MHz. To program the key fobs, turn the ignition to the on position, but the engine does not start.
Keep the OVERRIDE mode button pressed until the security system emits 4 beeps. Then the settings key is released and at the same time press the keys on the key fob marked “trunk opening” and “sound control”. They must be held until the siren sounds.
For the first remote control the signal should sound once, respectively for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th - 2, 3 and 4 times. In order for the key fobs to record the code, you should not take any action for a certain amount of time, depending on the model.
It should be noted that some key fobs are interchangeable. For example, the Tomahawk 7010 remote control is compatible with TZ-9030, TW-9020, TW-9030, LR-1010LC, TW-4000 communicators.
The principle of registering key fobs
Regardless of the type of alarm, programming is performed via the Override button. To do this, enter the programming mode and follow the sequence of actions described in the factory instructions.
Features of programming the Tomahawk alarm remote control of different models
Key fobs from different alarm series are recorded in the device memory in different ways. For models 4000, 7020, 9020, 1010, 9030 the procedure is relevant.
- Turn off the ignition.
- Click on Override the required number of times.
- Turn on the ignition.
- Enter a specific combination on the key fob.
At the same time, it should be borne in mind that regardless of the model, if the key fobs are not registered during their programming, they will be forgotten by the system and lose their relevance.
Programming additional key fobs
On the most common modifications of devices, registering additional remote controls occurs as follows:
- turn on the ignition;
- hold Override;
- wait for the system response in the form of 4 chirps;
- enter the required combination on the remote control.
This way you can register additional control panels.

How to reprogram an old remote control
You can reinstall an old pager into the program by deleting it and then adding it to the alarm. To remove a key fob from a whitefish, you must reset it, then follow the standard procedure to enter the remote control.
Why do you need to reprogram
The key fob is reprogrammed for the following reasons:
- incorrect response to user commands;
- lack of response to driver manipulations;
- response is too long;
- Device freezes.
How to reset settings
On common Tomahawk models, resetting settings is performed as follows:
- turn on the ignition;
- click on Override a certain number of times;
- wait for the system response;
- click on the service button again;
- Press and hold the indicated keys on the key fob.
After completing the operation, the settings will return to the factory state.
How to set the time
The operation should be performed:
- hold down the F key until the clock image starts flashing;
- buttons with the image of an open trunk and a crossed out speaker scroll through the minutes;
- to set the clock, press F again and scroll through the keys indicated above;
- To exit the menu you need to leave the pager alone for 8 seconds.
Photos of additional remote controls
A spare alarm key fob is used if the main one is lost or damaged. The second communicator controls only the main functions: opening and closing doors, opening the trunk. The pager does not have an LCD display. The alarm marking can also be determined by the second key fob. Compare your pager with the photos of the remote controls below and determine the Tomahawk model. Find out why the car won't start with the Tomahawk key fob.
Snap Tomahawk 9010
The Tomahawk TW 9010 car alarm with auto start can support work with 4 pagers. This also applies to the TZ 9010 model. Setting up one or all remote controls for these anti-theft systems can be done in several stages in different ways. The first option in accordance with the operating instructions is as follows.
- You must turn the ignition key to put it in the on position. The car engine should not be running, that is, it should be turned off.
- After this, you need to press the OVERRIDE service mode button and hold until 4 siren signals sound. This will indicate that you can begin setting up your communicator.
- Then you need to release the service mode button.
- After this, you need to press and simultaneously hold down the keys marked “open trunk” and “activate silent security” until a signal sounds that would confirm the installation of a new remote control in the system (one-time beep for the 1st key fob pager, two for the 2nd and etc.). Such a video can always be viewed on some automotive resources.
- If you do not perform any actions with any of the remote controls for 6 seconds, the setup will stop after that in automatic mode.
All communicators that have not been activated will be deleted from the system.
If the first method of programming the remote control for the TZ 9010 did not help solve the problem, then you can use another option.
- The ignition must be turned to the on position, but the vehicle engine must not be running.
- With one hand we press the Valet service mode button, and with the other we simultaneously click on the keys marked “activate silent security” and “open the trunk”.
- Then you need to wait until the siren sounds five times.
- At this stage, you should simultaneously press the “on” buttons. silent security”, “trunk opening” and a service mode key.
- After that, press the keys with the icons for “activating silent security” and “opening the trunk.” If the actions were performed correctly, the car’s turn signals will blink several times.
- Further manipulations are performed similarly to the first programming method.
DIY connection
Connecting the alarm is quite simple. The design of the device does not have complex modules and blocks, which allows you to install the unit yourself.
The main rule is to strictly follow the factory instructions. If the rules are not followed, there is a possibility of an error that will provide incorrect functionality.
The key factor is the installation of the Valet service button. It should be hidden as much as possible in a place accessible in an emergency.
Binding
The initial binding of remote controls on a new device occurs in the standard sequence described above.
Registration and configuration of the remote control without the Valet button
If you don’t have access to the Valet button, you can register the key fob as follows:
- turn on the ignition;
- click on Override 7 times;
- press the required combination on the pager;
- wait until you exit programming mode.
Firmware and reprogramming of the 9020 remote control
The Tomahawk 9020 alarm system can support up to four pagers. To record them in the memory of the anti-theft system, you need to perform the following steps.
- Turn off the ignition.
- Then press the Valet mode button seven times.
- After this, you need to turn on the ignition. To confirm entry into the remote control settings, the siren should emit 7 signals.
- At this step, you need to press the buttons with the picture of “open trunk” and “silent security mode”. They must be held simultaneously for 1 second. If all actions are performed correctly, the system will write the key fobs into memory (for the first remote control - 1 signal, for the second - 2, etc.).
All pagers not participating in the binding will be deleted from the system.
Description and characteristics of the keychain
The Tomahawk alarm system includes two key fobs, which differ in appearance, body shape and number of buttons:
- main, equipped with five keys and a liquid crystal display;
- auxiliary, having four buttons and an additional indicator diode.

Other devices are connected in the same way, however, the number of sound signals will be for the 2nd remote control - 2 beeps, for the 3rd - 3, for the 4th - 4.
- To exit the programming system, you need to turn the key to the “Off” position. This will be indicated by the dimensions, which will signal the owner of the car five times.
- If you do not perform any actions for 10 seconds, the automatic setting will be terminated.
Signaling 434 MHz frequency
Although this signaling model is budget, it has two-way communication and has all the necessary functions, as well as the ability to receive a signal within a radius of 1 km from the vehicle. To bind and program the key fob, you must perform the following steps.
- You need to open the door and then insert the key into the ignition; you do not need to start the car.
- To enter the alarm service mode, press the corresponding button 7 times.
- After completing the previous steps, you need to turn on the ignition by turning the key in the lock. If the siren is triggered 7 times, the alarm will enter the binding menu.
- At this stage, press buttons 1 (closed lock marking) and 2 (closed door icon) on the remote control. They are held until a single beep sounds. If the flashing of the key fob pager was completed successfully, it will emit a melody.
- Then you need to turn the ignition to the Off position. After this, the car's headlights should blink 5 times.
Functionality of the remote control key fob for different versions of the system
The basic modification of the Tomahawk alarm system is the TZ-9010 version. The keychain allows you to:
- start the engine remotely or using pre-programming for a certain time, which is very useful in winter for warming up;
- run system self-diagnosis;
- call the driver when the system sensors are triggered.
To protect against intelligent hacking of signals, the tomahawk “TZ-9010” key fob is equipped with an anti-scanner and an anti-grabber.
In the “TZ-9020” alarm version, the remote control additionally controls the two-level system power sensor and provides remote autostart in the presence of a built-in immobilizer.
The next modification of the Tomahawk TZ-9030 is intended to increase the radius of remote operation of the key fob to 1.2 kilometers.
The Tomahawk Z3 remote control has additional capabilities for remotely opening the trunk door and blocking the engine.
The “TW-7000” modification key fob can search for a car by turning on a special mode and activate the state of protection against robberies.
