Key fob kits for iDatastart and iDatalink remote starters: the remotes and the antenna together. A kit is the answer when the antenna has failed, or when your system starts from the factory key fob and you want more range. If only the remote is lost or broken, a replacement fob costs less.
It's printed on the module under your driver-side dash, not on the remote. Something like CM7000, EVO-ALL, CMHCXG0 or DS4. Part of a number works too.

That module is obsolete
No current remote kit will pair with a CM3000, CM4000 or CM4200. The radio protocol changed and there's no adapter, so the system itself needs replacing.
Talk to us before you spend anything. Depending on the vehicle and what the system does beyond remote start, there may be a better answer than like-for-like.
The EVO-ALL needs the RFA2A adapter for any of these kits. It's a separate part, and without it the kit won't connect.

Check the number on the module itself, not on the remote. They're different parts with different numbers. Your module may also be a different brand, so try searching every brand. Still nothing? Send us a photo of the module and we'll identify it.
A kit is the answer when nothing smaller will do. Check these first.
If your remote is still made, buy only the fob. It costs less and pairs to the antenna you already have.
Remotes still work but the range dropped, or every remote stopped at once? The antenna may be what failed.
Search the FCC ID on your old remote. If it's no longer made, its page shows whether a kit is the answer.
Each kit's page lists the control modules it pairs with. Other brands are on Key Fob Kits.
A replacement fob costs a lot more than a finder tag. Clip one to your key ring, ring it from your phone when the keys are under the couch, and see where they were last seen when they're not. Works with iPhone or Android, no monthly fee.
If a replacement for your fob is still made, buy the fob. It costs less and pairs to the antenna you already have. A kit is for when no fob is made any more, because it replaces the remote and the antenna together. Not sure? Search your fob's FCC ID and its page will tell you.
Because the kit pairs to the remote starter's control module, not to the car. Two identical cars can have different modules fitted, so the module's part number is the only reliable match.
It's under the driver-side dash, usually zip-tied to the wiring behind the lower panel. The part number is printed on the case: CM7000, EVO-ALL, CMHCXG0 and so on. If you can't reach it, send us a photo of what you can see and we'll identify it.
Two-way remotes report back from the vehicle, so you know the car actually started instead of guessing from across a parking lot. One-way remotes only send. Two-way costs more, and it's the difference most people notice first.
The remotes pair without tools, but the antenna has to be mounted on the windshield and its cable routed down the pillar to the module. It's doable if you're comfortable removing trim. Otherwise, book a visit and we'll fit it at our Markham shop.
Send us a photo of the control module or your old remote and we'll tell you which kit fits.
