How to attach a key fob to an Alligator alarm system: setup instructions, registration

Alligator alarm key fobs of various models and functions are configured in a special way, but only after binding to the control unit. Recording of remote controls in the memory of the anti-theft system is carried out according to one algorithm, using the “Valet” key. Up to four pagers can be programmed. If for some reason programming fails, you should immediately contact the service center. After all, more modern models of Alligator remotes require manual code entry. We will discuss in more detail how to attach a key fob to an Alligator alarm later.

We also have a Tomahawk 9020 instruction manual.

Reprogramming and flashing

It happens that the key fob freezes and refuses to carry out your commands. As a solution, you need to reset the settings and restore the firmware. Or you can program a second, spare remote control. In order to properly reflash the transmitter, do this.

Press the “Jack” service key once. The ignition must be turned off.
After that, click “Valet” three more times. The siren will sound.
Click the buttons on the pager one by one, synchronizing them with the control unit.
Turn the ignition on and off immediately. Check the functionality of the key fobs.

How to enable engine autostart using the Alligator remote control

The Alligator alarm kit includes two remote controls: a five-button and a four-button. The engine can be started from either a 5-button or 4-button key fob. To do this, you need to know the sequence of keystrokes.

The Alligator anti-theft system allows you to independently set the auto start of the car based on temperature, control the warm-up time, and adjust the time for automatic engine start and stop.

Enter service mode by holding the F key for two seconds on the main pager. The screen will turn on and a beep will sound.
Press F again, the display will show “timer”. CHIRP will follow.
Select the desired time period in hours (1-2-3-4-6-24). Each press will be accompanied by a squeak and the turn signals will activate.
Select temperature trigger mode. The “tempo” symbol will appear on the screen. The key fob will emit a melody and the turn signals will blink. Select the required autostart temperature (-10, -15, -20, -25).
To exit, press the F key for two seconds. After exiting, the symbols for the selected functions are activated on the display.
To disable autorun, reset the values in the menu.

We also have instructions on how to use the Tomahawk 9020 key fob on our website.

Repeat the previous step for the remaining key fobs.
Exit recording mode by turning off the ignition or doing nothing for fifteen seconds. You will hear a short and long siren signal.

Technical description

Most Alligator key fob models, such as the S-475 and S-800-850, as well as the 875RS, have the following features:

programming capability;
LCD screen;
backlight;
vibration call;
alarm control at a distance of no more than 800 m.

With the Alligator key fob, you can monitor the condition of your car at any time; if something happens to the car, the miniature speaker of the key fob will notify you of the incident. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the car when it is not parked in the garage.

As soon as the system is activated (hacking), the key fob will begin to vibrate and the speaker will turn on (a sound signal). A special indicator of the zones that triggered the signal will appear on the key fob screen.

Why is the Alligator key fob not programmable?

The remote control for the Alligator alarm system broke down, and you decided to flash a new one. But I can't unlock the transmitter. Why can this happen with key fobs (TD 350, M2200, D 910, 975, S850RS, M 2200, S 875rs, S 200, M800, S400) and how to fix it?

Pager failure. Repair it yourself or replace it with a new one.
The “Ignition on” command is not detected by the control unit. Contact the specialists.
Jack mode was accidentally activated. Turn off and repeat the procedure for writing switches.
Damage to the control unit. Contact the service center.

How to determine the alarm model by key fob

The manufacturer's alarm model Alligator can be determined by the description of the appearance of its key fob:

TD-350/355. Remote controls in this series have a vertical screen orientation. The device is equipped with a non-removable antenna, which is part of the housing. The keychain is made in silver with black edging.
D-910. The communicator has a small screen, the area of which does not exceed 1/3 of the front panel of the key fob. The device has a removable black plastic antenna and a body with round silver inserts.
S-800/825/850/875. The key fob features a horizontal screen orientation with a white backlight. The body is made of dark gray plastic and equipped with a built-in antenna. This security system, unlike others, has the function of auto-starting the engine based on voltage, so the display has a characteristic icon in the form of a lightning bolt.
TD-320. The device has a black body with a thin silver insert around the display and an enlarged eyelet for attaching to a keychain. The remote control screen has a vertical orientation and is distinguished by a large lock icon in the middle.
