Clifford RSX 3.5 and RS III Differences?

it must have been a repack... in the brains there is essentially no difference... the big difference was in the Gen II remotes...Kevin Gerry

Glad to hear they are the same unit!

Do you have the installation guide / manual?  I would like to change some of the programming options (with the learn routine), and cannot get to the install shop.  I am in the military and am unable to leave.  Please let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks,

Ryan

nohting really diff, just rs3 has one less operative channel. if you bought a rsx3.5, then youre entitle one. i suggest goin back to ur installer and get it replace or reimbursement. it may not be an issue but it could happen again to their next customer.Houston,TX

I have a clifford matrix rs3 (III whatever) that i had installed a couple years ago. I know that they (best buy) didn't have a bitwriter to program it. It worked fine for a while. I parked my car for a year, and the battery died eventually. When I went to start using it again, i started losing functions slowly from the remote. I replaced the remote battery, and followed the trouble shooting for reseting the codes in the remote, but at this point, i now have no function out of it. I had to put the car in valet mode because the starter kill kept arming. I also checked the install manual and tried the process of adding a remote (though it's the same old one) but when I go into it to program, it chirps the number of times needed (8) to get to the feature, then i hold the valet switch, but it doesn't seem to recognize when I press the remote button (lock or any others). Am I doing this wrong? It gives a siren for a couple seconds when it exits automatically. A couple times it actually did the siren for a couple seconds when I went to auto program and hit the lock button, but then it still doesn't unlock when I exit. Any hints? BTW it's on a 2002 toyota corolla. Thanks guys.

I have the same problem on my 2.5x. Remote will not transmit to alarm. I have no idea what is wrong. A new remote is expensive and I'm not even sure that is the issue. I have checked everything.

I have the same alarm and the same problem. Took it back to Best Buy, and they are officially recalled. I have been instructed to send the unit back to Directed Electronics, and have been told that they will replace it with the latest clifford for free!
