text/html2011-09-19T16:55:28-05:00Chris FreyerVehicle Remotes
http://www.thefreyers.net/doku.php?id=personal:vehicle_remotes
<div class="level1">
<p>
<img src=" http://www.thefreyers.net/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=personal:mazdavehicleremote.jpg" class="mediaright" align="right" alt="" /> All vehicles come with a keyless entry system these days. Normally you get two…one for the driver, and one as a spare. These are pretty important little devices, often able to open and close doors, honk the horn or start the car. Given their their commodity nature, it should be fairly easy to replace them, right? Well…no, but only because the auto industry gets in the way.
</p>
<p>
The truth is, most vehicle remotes are fixed-function devices and are <strong>not</strong> programmable. They are associated with a car by putting the car into “learn” mode and having it learn the identity of the remote(s) it should respond to. And that's a very simple process.
</p>
<p>
In the case of my vehicle (a 2003 Mazda Tribute), here are the steps needed:
</p>
<ol>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> get in the car and close the doors</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> insert the key and cycle it between “off” and “run ” 8 times in less than 10 seconds, ending with the key in 'run'</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> the car will lock and unlock the doors to say it is in learn mode</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> push the lock button on the remote</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> the car will lock and unlock the doors to say it has learned the remote</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> turn off the key</div>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
But the auto industry likes to hide these tricks from consumers. You can't get this information by calling a dealer. Or their repair shop. Instead they'll charge you $100 to $200 to “program your remote”. Ironic…since they're actually programming your car's computer and not the remote.
</p>
<p>
Anyway…it pays to be a smart customer and do these things yourself. For example: a new remote for my vehicle costs $80 in the dealership, or $30 for the <em>exact same remote</em> online. And “programming” it at the dealership costs $129, versus $0 for doing it yourself.
</p>
<p>
Buyer beware.

My first job after college. I went through a 90-day introduction to the Pipe, Valve, and Fitting business while located in Atlanta. Fantastic exposure to metals and refining, manufacturing processes, products and their vendors. I was trained in Engineered Products (pneumatically controlled valves, measuring devices, etc…) because I enjoyed the physics and mechanics of it.
</p>
<p>
Even though the company had a computer for creating and storing quotes, it did not handle the work I needed to do: flow and volume calculations, matching of valves to actuators, calculating safety margins, etc..). So I found myself writing Lotus 1-2-3 macros to do calculations on my home computer. Ultimately, I learned a lot about chemistry, physics, metalurgy, manufacturing, fluid dynamics, and mechanical contracting. And I really began to see the benefits of custom software.

Many of my personal interests have been recorded over time as newsgroup conversations, forum posts, letters to the editor, etc. I have attempted to catalog these messages as a running commentary on my career. While the list is not complete, it is definitely interesting. It can be found at the link below:

I started using Unix professionally in 1993 and discovered Linux in 1994. My first distribution was CD-based and came with an X11 desktop. It came with plenty of documentation from the <a href="http://www.tldp.org" class="urlextern" target="external" title="http://www.tldp.org" rel="nofollow">Linux Documentation Project</a>. It was exactly the right information at the right time in my career to help me really learn Unix.
