CAVEATS

• requires a OEM remote to clone. Cannot be someone elses remote as the cloned remote would then operate both cars
• The Remocon RMC-600, which advertises the ability to copy codes without the use of a programmer was tested to NOT work when trying to copy an OEM Series 1 remote. It does work with already copied RMC-555 remotes, but this may present a signal degradation issue in making copy-of-copy remotes, and makes the ability to copy without the RMC-888 a moot point.

What you need

• A Remocon RMC-555 Remote. This can be found primarily on online marketplaces such as AliExpress

• A Remocon RMC-888 Programmer device. This can also be found primarily on online marketplaces such as AliExpress

  Photo shown has removable cable, however shown with cable plugged in due to cable fitment issues requiring disassembly to fit for demonstration (low Quality Control)

• (optional) 12V (1A min.) DC Power Supply (5.5mm*2.5mm barrel connector)

  This is only required if the ordered RMC-888 device comes with the wrong country’s power supply plug (likely if imported from overseas)

Instructions (Series 1 Smartlock remote)

1. press and hold buttons 2 and 3 to enter into dual frequency programming mode. The display should show r111

   In theory this can also be achieved by pressing button 1 to go into single frequency setting, however the tested unit was unable to achieve this

2. hold the OEM remote to the programming area on the RMC-888 and press and hold the button you would like programmed to button 1 until the display reads done. After this the display will show a code such as b-10, however this is not particularly important, as this simply denotes the type of Remocon remote that can be used with the copied code

   

   place OEM remote as shown

3. the display should now read r112 to signify the next button to be added to the configuration. continue adding buttons using the above method for up to 5 buttons, then press button 1 to skip through programming of other buttons

   Process tested programming to the following:

   • r111 lock/unlock button
   • r112 boot button
   • r113 lock/unlock button
   • r114 boot button
   • r115 (skipped)
   • r221 (skipped)
   • r222 (skipped)
   • r223 (skipped)
   • r224 (skipped)
   • r225 (skipped)

4. after completing the segment reading r225 either by skipping or programming, the display should read 0.0, signifying that the programmer is back to the “main menu”

5. ensure the frequency jumper is in the correct position to send 275-345mHz signals, and then plug the RMC-555 remote into the programmer using the small 6-pin ribbon cable on the RMC-888 programmer device.

6. Press button 2 to duplicate the current configuration to the attached keyfob. the display should read Pb10

7. Once you are back at the home menu, test the fobs by comparing the frequency of the new keyfob vs the original OEM one. Use the frequency adjuster screw to make minute adjustments to the frequency until the both match as closely as possible.

   

   Turn this screw to make small adjustments to the frequency of the remote. Recommended margin of error is ±0.5mHz
