Just the fob
If your remote is still made, buy only the fob. It costs less and pairs to the antenna you already have.
Lost every remote, or yours isn't made any more? A kit replaces the remote and the antenna together, then pairs to the control module already in your vehicle. Nothing under the dash changes.
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.
Can't read the module? Pick it from a list.
Choose the brand printed on the module, then its part number.
That module is obsolete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. 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.
You also need the RFA2A adapter. The EVO-ALL doesn't have the port these kits expect, so without it the kit won't connect. It's the part most often forgotten on a Fortin install.
Every kit we carry. Search your module above to see only the ones that fit.
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.
No. The kit pairs to the control module already in your vehicle, so the wiring, the starter and everything under the dash stays. You're replacing the radio link, not the system.
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 CM3000, CM4000 and CM4200 are obsolete. The radio protocol changed and no current kit will pair with them, so you need a new system rather than a new remote. Talk to us before spending anything. Depending on the vehicle, there may be a better answer than like-for-like.
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.
