sactownstang Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I was told I just needed to purchase the 2 way LCD transmitter, well long story short... I got it and program it without incident, but it only arms and disarms the alarm. I thought 2 way meant it would page me and tell me if the doors were open or something... Or is it just to look pretty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBalll Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Is the alarm itself capable of sending a signal back to the FOB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactownstang Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) think it has something to do with button 5 and con and mine aint setup or something. possibly reprogram # 20 as well.

kickass audio Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 did you replace the antenna on it? You cannot just simply put the 2-way remote on the system and make it work. The antenna that comes with that is default as 1-way (see page 23), you need the 2-way antenna to make it send a reply signal to your 2-way remote. Without that antenna it will just take whatever it gets for locking and unlocking but it will not page you at all. Its basically like a 2-way radio. You can make them a 1-way radio by disabling the mic button for certain frequencies. This is whats going on here, the stock antenna/receiver is just a 1 way unit.

sactownstang Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 will look into that, thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickass audio Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 no problem. it deff is what the problem lies to. My old alarm had the same ability to get upgraded to a 2 way system and it came with the remote like you have and the antenna to upgrade it too. If i were you just to be safe get the 2 way receiver/transmitter and the cable for it just incase the cable that is for the 1 way system is not completely run. I doubt it isnt but you need to look at the prongs on that compared to the 2 way receiver/transmitter when you get it.
