Reprogramming Meta Alarms

If the code card is lost we are now able to re-code the M870, M8700, M2087, M996, M928, M99T and M99T2 alarms systems only. All the HPA range of alarms can also be re-coded. Alarm brains are usually located somewhere under the dash, if it cannot be located follow one of the sensor wires or the LED wire which will lead you to the control unit. The M870, M8700 & M2087 are compact alarms which means all the electronics are mounted within the siren, the complete unit needs to be sent back for re-coding. We sometimes have brand new or exchange units which can be directly swaped with your existing alarm, check here for details & stock.

We can reprogram the alarms listed above with two new round remotes plus a new codecard for programing more remotes in the future. The cost is £99, this includes next day delivery before 1PM.

If you require reprogramming please send the alarm brain to:

Abacus Car Alarms
206 Leigham Court Road
London
SW16 2RB 

Don't forget to include your details including your phone number. For a fast turnaround please send via next day Special Delivery (reprogramed alarm is usually returned within 48 hours - weekends will take longer)

Locating The Alarm

To locate the model of the alarm look under the bonnet for the siren, once located inspect the cable coming from it, if the cable is very thin (only a few wires encased in a rubber/plastic sheath) this is just a siren and the actual alarm control brain will be hidden somewhere under the dash (known as a modular alarm), see below. If the siren has a sticker (usually found on the underside of the unit) with the model numbers M07 or M11 or SC1T2 then these are just sirens and the alarm control box will be hidden somewhere under the dash.

If there are quite a few wires (or a thick cable sheath) coming from the siren this indicates it to be the actual alarm system (known as a compact alarm) on it should be a sticker with the model number, it may be necessary to unbolt the siren as the sticker is on the underside. In all cases the model number begins with the letter 'M', I.E. M870, M8700 or M2807 etc. Once found contact the office.

If the vehicle is fitted with just a siren, the alarm brain will be found somewhere under the dash, the easiest way to find the unit is either follow one of the sensor wires (usually fitted either side of the windscreen pillars) or the LED wire or the siren wire which should all lead you to the unit. Again once found there should be a sticker with the model number and again in all cases begins with the letter 'M', I.E. M99 or M996 etc. The control box can vary in size roughly from a paperback book to a box a little larger than a packet of cigarettes, in all cases there will be a large number of wires coming from it, at least a dozen or more wires. Once found contact the office with this information.

We can only re-code later Meta alarms such as the M870, M8700, M2087, M996, M928, M99T, M99T2, M187, M871 and HPA range of alarms systems with two fobs and a new code-card, in many cases we can offer an exchange item so it will be a simple case of plug and play for replacing it.
