If you take a cardboard box, put it on the floor open side down. Prop one side of the box up with a stick. Then you take a battery and tie a string to it and attach the other end to the stick .......

Nah ..... that wont work ..... they're too damn fast.

I don't have any idea except to buy a new keyfob and unprogram the old one.

It will always be at the last place you look.....

Something to try is find out what code the person who had the keyfob used, Vista-50's require keyfobs be linked to a valid user code.

Other than that you would have to delete all keyfobs and re-add them or test the system with the remaining keyfobs (good luck with that) and find out which armed/disarmed and remove the one that doesn't

That works unless they have multiple keyfobs which looking at the panel they likely do

A> Tell them to search the cars well

B> Collect the remaining fobs and go into programming and manually inspect the serial numbers for matches. The one serial number in the panel that is missing a fob is the culprit. Delete it, and program a new one. Charge the customer an outrageous price so they don't f*ck up again.

With the low battery coming from the lost fob, now you know which one to deprogram.

The event buffer might tell you which FOB is bad. Once you know which one, unprogram it and get the customer a new one. Replace all the batteries on the rest of the FOBs when you're there.

So? Only the one with the low battery is going to go into the box.

Those serial number stickers on the fobs would be long gone
