Guest PhilH Guests Posted 20/08/03 08:35 AM Share Posted 20/08/03 08:35 AM I have a spare remote for my EL Fairmont, which is really handy (I have one, my wife has one, and that leaves this spare for the office Staff to use)I'm assuming that the BAs only come with 2 remotes ? and would like to continue with the third if at all possible.Does anyone know if this older remote will work on the BAs ? I read somewhere that whilst the remote was a different shape, the data transmissions were the same.Anyone know if this is true ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping there was still a spare one floating around at the dealers. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My EL went to it's new owner today, and the XR is waiting for me in the showroom ready for pickup at 9:00am tomorrow. I've kept the spare remote and will try it out and let people know.
