How to ID the freq of a one button fob with no sticker? - I have searched.

Hello,

Im having fob problems like most other people with Disco1's it would seem. I have searched lots and lots, and found loads of usefull info, but am now a little stuck.

What I do now know:

• I have a one button 300 tdi 1994.
• Its 433mhz accourding to the alarm ecu.
• The red light is under the stereo in the centre.
• The car side all appears to be there and working.

I have been kindly given two good condition fobs, both with red circuit boards and LUCTXTJ1. "If" these are 433mhz, I know I can reprogram them to the alarm ECU, but is there any way of telling if they are the compatible types? They both have white stickers on the case's but neither mention any frequency at all.

Any help would be fantastic.

The procedure to program single button fobs only take 8 seconds that's the time limit to do it in.
So try and program the fob if it doesn't happen then there is a compatability/function fault with it.

int they a procedure in the FAQ section?

Could be, I think its hiding somewhere among all the options found in FAQ

but OP int asking for procedure he wants to ID the transmit frequency.

either get an Osciliscope?frequency counter. or find some one with a 70cm ham radio transceiver and press button whilst tuned to 433MHZ

According to Rave you should have a colour coded label

"Both ECU and handset have a colour–coded label.
Frequency Colour Territory ECU/Handset:
418.0 MHz, Pink/pink: UK, Ireland
224.5 MHz, Yellow/yellow: France
433.92 MHz, Blue/blue: Europe (not France,
Switzerland, Italy, Denmark)
433.92 MHz, White/blue: Switzerland, Denmark
315.0 MHz, Green/green: Rest of World, Italy,
Australia
315.0 MHz, Orange/green: Gulf, Japan"

Mine is 433 as well!

Thanks for all the replies chaps.

I will try and program it and take it from there. To be honest, I suddenly have more pressing issues with the old girl, in fact, I might need a new thread for some of those if searching doesn't help....
