Hey all -

I recently picked up a 93 SC400. Unfortunately, it didn't come with any of the keyless-entry keys, just the regular master key and a valet key.

I just can't live without keyless entry.. got way too used to it on my other cars... and it looks like the dealer charges waaaaaay too much for a new keyless-entry key.

Anyways, I was thinking about just picking up an aftermarket alarm.. nothing fancy, I'm only looking to spend about $150-200 installed.

Any recommendations? I know there are a few alarms that they carry at bestbuy, circuit city, etc that are in the price range... but I'm not sure how much I trust those guys with the car..

Any input appreciated.

Thanks!
Mike

 

well for a master key replacement I went with ebay...got a key uncut for around 45 or 50 bux shipped...then i went to a local locksmith and they charged me 25 bux to have it cut. then I just programmed it myself...pretty easy but does takes lots of patience. goodluck and welcome to the club.

 

how do you program it yourself?

 

1993 SC's do not have programmable remotes. Also, the key comes with a chip or something from what I understand which interfaces wih the remote ECU. If you take the OEM route, buy as many keys as you intend on having at a time because if you replace a key, it comes with a new chip, and your old remote keys are useless, and become standard master keys.
