Hi all,

New member here. Problem is this..

My remote died and a year and a half later i have bought one from ebay.

Can any one tell me how to program it? I hope that it does not need the car door locking or unlocking using the key as the door lock has seized. Simple? I think not.

Car is a ZX 94 td Aura.

I hope someone can help.

Mark

if its the infa-red type you can't, they are paired with the recivier, Citroen should be able to do it for you.

Thanks Rossnum.

I heard that an IR fob can be, without changing the receiver. Any body else got some ideas?

Thanks

don't get me wrong, the IR can be programed just not by you or I, it needs to be done by a main dealer. I think the later IR remotes found in Xantia's, they can be programed by the user, you just need to know the procedure

I think the ZX ones are the same as the BX ones, and they can be re-programmed to suit different receivers. However, you need a soldering iron, and need to be handy with it! I think the code is decided by which of the pins on the IC are grounded, and the recevier and plip need to match. There was a set of instructions floating around on the web a while back, but I can't remember where.

Edit: Found it! BX Remote Coding
