I have a Fabia SDi, which I added central locking to at the local Skoda dealership, so my remote is separate from my actual key.

I have just moved to a new apartment which has a remote garage door opener which I know operates on 433.92 MHz.

My question is this, I have been looking for a single device which could copy both controls. I tried Remote control duplicator CT-05, which I found on the internet, but it didn't work for either my car or my garage door. Has anyone had any experience of

a/ copying a Skoda remote control onto another device, and/or

b/ copying more than one remote onto some kind of universal remote.

Does such a thing exist, or will I have to use two controls forever?!?

Thanks

I could be talking through my rear vent, but I think the frequency you are referring to is just the "carrier" frequency. The individual key fobs will be transmitting coded packages - otherwise "one would do all" - but that I mean every VAG + product on that frequency band - handy idea but not useful. If you succeed in matching your garage door to your car central locking, then your key fob will end up carrying all the wear and tear - and replacing it would be a lot dearer than replacing your garage remote opener I think. Best "give me a gadget" plan might be to permanantly locate your garage opener in a consealed position in your car - but at a position that it will still operate - before this hack it open and take wires to an unused switch "blank" position and have an open-close pair of buttons mounted on this bespoke panel. (might be best to buy a spare remote garage opener to try this on). Either way do you own the apartment, if not then you would need to buy the second remote if you were to hack it up. Also if permanently locating it in the car - what happens when you move or sell the car? All in all maybe this is not a good idea. Cloning central locking remote normally refers to copying key fobs - a cheap way of replacing a lost key - when the correct route is to get a new key and recode all the keys, by doing this you disable the remote central locking compatability of the lost/stolen key with your car. As usual I read your posting too quickly, so do you really want to end up carrying around a dual channel remote fob - bigger is not always better, also your aftermarket "Skoda" remote fob surely is not a Skoda fob - it will just be a generic aftermarket retro-fit kit from one of the UK approved suppliers.

Also, the chances are that the central locking uses a rolling code system, in that the code to unlock the car is different each time the button is pressed. Only the central locking control unit knows this sequence, so the chances of an aftermarket remote working is pretty small.

Whoops forgot that rather important bit - so there you have it, the final nail in the coffin for this cunning upgrade. (but will the Soda branded aftermarket remote be so sophisticated?)

All legal alarms work in a band which is allocated for that purpose. Each remote has its own unique code which it sends to the car receiver . The receiver knows what this code should be, and sends a signal via a relay to open the doors etc.Even if you have a remote that is on the same frequency as another car receiver ,it still has a different code , it which will not allow it to open another car. The code is hardwired on an chip in cheaper alarms.On more expensive alarms it is done in software.

Thanks for the info guys.

My situation is basically this. I have just moved into a place with a remote garage door. I have only one opener, and wanted a second just-in-case. As I was looking for a 'gadget' to copy the garage key, I saw devices which claimed to be able to copy all remote openers. I was a little sceptical but wondered if anyone has had any success with these devices.

I have since tried a couple, and, probably for the rolling code reasons you have told me, they have not worked. I was leaving the garage opener in the car anyway, just looks like my ideas of having a spare car/garage opener on one device are not going to happen.

Thanks again for the help.
