So I got a hookup at the Infiniti dealer my buddy works at, and they changed my bad Catalytic converter and got me cost on new tires all on the side for cheap. The problem is they lost my key along with my 2-way remote (and only remote) for my alarm and remote start. Since they did the work "on the side", they are not liable for loosing anything. Luckily I had a second key and didn't hide my alarm brain well so I got in the car and disabled the alarm.

So now, I need a new remote. The problem is, I can't remember if the alarm/starter is a 790XV or a 791XV. It appears the remotes are not compatible with each other, and since these are not cheap I don't want to buy the wrong one. I didn't pull out the brain to see if there is a model number, but does anyone know any way to tell the difference?

 

No one knows...?

 

i have a 791xv and was shopping for a back up remote and came across this auction on ebay.
