For timer count-down.

Good idea, they have a:
Porsche Carrera S
Lexus RX 450h
and on old Corsa for the nanny

For the first two I would expect logos emblazoned on it and I don't think the corsa has remote unlocking

Well I'm really hoping its not my sister! or my brother in law for that matter (that would be too wired)
as for the hot swedish nanny.... I could live with that

Its for a tracking system in a car, most likely CAT5.

If you drive away in the car without that "remote" within 3 meters of the car it will alert the company who does the tracking and also the owner.

I've driven off in my car without that with me, got a text message saying my car was stolen and a call checking whether or not I was in the car within about 5 minutes.

Just thought I would register to enlighten you all, aren't I nice

Well thank you for that, they've been using all the Cars without it for a couple weeks now and haven't received any alerts. could it be that they haven't registered it yet?

Yea you would need to register with the company and pay an anual fee for it to be active. You will get one with a new car that has the tracking device installed somewhere within the car, you need to send off a form to get it activated

Most useful first post ever to be honest.

It's not model specific, any car with a Thatcham Category 5 system installed will have it. There should be a little black button in the centre console somewhere with a blinking LED.

The company that does it for my car is Cobra. I would post a picture but I don't meet the post requirements

If you want to wait a little while (I presume it's 5 posts for a picture/url) I can put a picture up

ok, after a bit a further research it appears to be a cobra ADR Card

many thanks and kudo's to opal!
