Author: Victor

Setting up key fobs for the Alligator alarm depends on the model and functions of the system, but regardless of the type, it begins with binding to the control unit. Programming is carried out according to one algorithm using the Vallet service button. If it was not possible to program the remote control in this way, then you need to contact a service center, since more modern Alligator key fobs sometimes require manual registration of the code.

As soon as the system is activated (hacking), the key fob will begin to vibrate and the speaker will turn on (a sound signal). A special indicator of the zones that triggered the signal will appear on the key fob screen.

How to program the key fob?

To set up key fobs, first of all, the car owner needs to program them correctly:

1. The Vallet service button is activated with one click (the ignition must be turned off at the time of this procedure).
2. After activation, the Vallet key will need to be clicked three more times in a row, after which the device will emit a characteristic signal.
3. Immediately after the signal, the owner needs to press the keys on the key fob one by one, thereby synchronizing them with the device on the car.
4. At the end of the procedure, the ignition must be turned on and then turned off again, and only then can the operation of the security system be checked in practice.

Malfunctions

There are different types of malfunctions, but the most common ones are:

1. The alarm doesn't respond and nothing happens when you press the key fob. In such a situation, first of all, you urgently need to remove the alarm using the service button, then check and replace the battery. If everything is fine with the batteries, then most likely the fault is in the key fob itself, then it’s better to buy a new one (two key fobs are almost always sold in the package).
2. The alarm does not close the car doors. Most likely, there is a malfunction in the door lock or the alarm fuses have failed; it is better not to delay with such a problem and contact a service center.
3. The alarm goes off on its own from time to time. First of all, adjust the alarm sensitivity. If this does not help, then try changing the location or replacing the shock sensor; replacing it with a working sensor almost always helps.

Setting up the Alligator key fob and alarm

Setting sensitivity. Everything is beautiful on TV on advertising, but in reality it can be very difficult to set up the alarm correctly, for example, a motion sensor reacts to the slightest movement, the flight of birds. This problem can be solved in the service, but why spend extra money when you can save money and set everything up yourself. To do this, you need to find the alarm unit, then we find a loop of 4 wires that come out of the unit. This wiring leads to the sensor on which the sensitivity regulator we need is located. Scroll through and customize it to your liking and don't worry! Setting up the key fob Very often we buy or exchange cars, and used cars most often already have a car alarm installed; in order not to make a mistake and correctly recognize the model, you need to carefully study the key fob. One of the easiest ways is to search for a keychain on the Internet using a photo. A very convenient and simple service is located on the website – ugona.net. On the website you can specify the parameters of the key fob, such as the number of buttons, LCD screen or not. After you specify all the parameters of the key fob, click OK and study the selected key fobs using the search system. Also carefully examine the keychain for inscriptions and company brands, for example – “Alligator”

Valet button can be located in any secluded place

Valet service button If, when purchasing a used car, you forgot to ask where the Valet service button is located (this button is responsible for setting the alarm) or were simply absent when installing an alarm on the car, then you need to find the system unit. Next, we look for the black wire that comes out of it, it will lead us to the black button, which is “Valet”. It is usually installed under the driver's seat.

Connecting a new car alarm pager with feedback

Synchronization of the control panel of the Alligator anti-theft system is performed according to the following algorithm.

1. Turn off security mode. Turn on the ignition.
2. During the allotted period of time (fifteen seconds), turn on “Jack” three times. The system will emit three siren sounds and the LED will flash slowly.
3. Click the “closed lock” button on the remote control. A long CHIRP will follow. The transmitter will make one sound.
4. Repeat the previous step for the remaining key fobs.
5. Exit recording mode by turning off the ignition or doing nothing for fifteen seconds. You will hear a short and long siren signal.
