The complete question is, how to install (2) cars on one 2-way LCD remote for a Clifford 12.5x alarm system?

I recently installed a Clifford 12.5x on a new vehicle just purchased and it just so happens that I the same alarm on another vehicle I own...

thanks posted_image

It probably doesn't matter, but the 2 vehicles are a 2008 Ford F350 and a 1995 Nissan 240sx

look in the instruction manuel, you just need to program the remote to both brains

just switch the vehicle # for the other cars accordingly and reprogram as if the remote forgot car it came from, right?

The downside to doing it that way is that if both cars are within range, you will control both cars. Another way to do it is to manually program each vehicle to a different button (you will use up your auxilary buttons though). This way each button will control different functions on each vehicle.

Wouldn't each vehicle have it's own vehicle number <ie-the vehicle number listed on the side of the remote 1-4>, so each vehicle frequency or however signal is projected be different than the other

you can control both cars without setting the other one off, you just have to select car #1 or #2 on the remote. read your manual as it has the intstructions

i believe you can control up to 4 different cars with 1 remote for a max of 4 remotes per car
