Had Audiovox Prestige remote lock/unlock with alarm installed on 2002 Honda Civic LX by a local dealer four years ago. Have been quite satisfied with the product as no theft or damage has been done though I work in not-so-nice area. The remote transmitter was working well though the screen quit functioning after a year and half until I left it in the rain for 4 hours while playing golf. Thus, I needed a replacement transmitter. I actually had 5BCR03P, and by internet, I learned that 5BCR07P is the updated version and would work with my security system. By the way, the original store that installed it said it no longer carried the transmitter and if I get it via internet, they would program it for $35.

Since the product did not come with instruction to program it, I had to obtain it using Audiovox website. It took several trial and error and probably disturbed my neighbors, but I got it done. Important key is to know where the valve is, and push and release three times until you hear the response, then push the button on the transmitter button you want to program for several seconds until you get the desired action. (I initially pushed unlock button by mistake, so unlock button lock the doors and lock button did the reverse. Confusing.) Otherwise, I am quite happy that now I have a great looking remote, which many people think it is cell phone.

The actual description and picture of remote replacement was NOT what was sent to me.
I have the original remote from Audiovox and looking for a replacement, screen was broken. The picture on Amazon site did match what I had and description says from Audiovox.
Well the remote that was sent had two blue buttons and says Prestige on the unit. Nothing that says Audiovox. I have seen these advertised and did not want a copy. Paid $55+ for an original remote replacement from AUdiovox not for a imitation of the an Audivox remote.
I was quite taken back that it was not what was advertised and I am sending back. I did find this Prestige replacement for a lot less, but did not want a bootleg of the original.
Not Nice.

The transmitter was identical to the one I had broken. The item came with a scratch on the screen, no protection in the little box. This item is supposed to be new??? Also, no instructions on how to program. Couldn't waste time in fighting them about it, took it to an alarm place and got charged $40 for programming. No deal at all. Transmitter still has flaws with delay activation. Don't know what to do.

I just bought this inexpensive Transmitter replacement and it works like my original one that I had 8 years ago. I love the color as well, not unlike my original one, silver in color, beat up so bad by my key's (looks ugly). Programming I just had a little bit of a problem (because the manual that they have in Audiovox website is not updated yet) but soon as I had the updated one from Audiovox customer service it work's instantly. Thank you

Very easy to install.... Its very easy to program all your buttons and the black withstands a beating from your keys alot better than the silver does.. Highly recommended for anybody who need a replacement for their two way transmitter.
