Remote Control Programming

Additionally, the provided REMOTE CONTROL'S top and bottom buttons may be assigned to operate another 1998 or 1999 model vehicles' RS3000 Security System, and both buttons can be programmed to operate the system in one vehicle. To add or delete a REMOTE CONTROL, you must access the RS3000 ECU (computer); ECU location varies by vehicle, and vehicle model.
