I had my 1996 Aero altered by a Tech-II so that I could use the key OR the fob to set or deactivate the alarm. I locked my one fob in the car; I used the second key to get in and set the alarm off, then used the fob to turn it off. I didn't have to replace anything else. -- Richard & Mary Sutherland-Smith 19 Webb Road, Wanganui 5001, NZ
