How to change the batteries in your Autowatch peanut remote
The Autowatch 225000 (AKA peanut remote) takes 2 CR1220 coin type batteries. These last for about 3 years with normal use.
The back of the case will have either N4086, 225-000, or 446-300 etched into it. Replacement cases are available through me.
To change the batteries you’ll need a small Philips screwdriver.
Remove the two screws that hold the case together, then turn the remote so the button faces upwards before opening.
Make a note of which way the batteries are installed and replace them (if you muddle this bit up then use the following photo as a reference):
Replace the screws and test the remote. If the LED lights up you have the batteries in the correct way. Test on the alarm.
Please recycle your old remote batteries
Need a new Autowatch Remote?
Most Autowatch alarms can learn up to 8 remote controls. If you require a new remote control then you’ll need your alarms 5 digit security number to be able to access programming.

Hi we need a case only for single button peanut remote auto watch type.
The button does not work anymore but remote does work when cross terminals with tin foil. I’m sure will work properly with new case. Has number N4085 on back.
Hi Louis,
No problem, I can supply you with a new case but from what you have said it sounds like the switch is at fault given that you have to bridge it with tin foil.
Please use the contact form rather then publishing your details: http://vehiclesecurity.co.nz/blog/please-use-the-contact-form-for-enquiries
Does the case come with the actual button? I bought a car with an alarm that uses this remote and the button is missing and the terminals need to be bridged with a piece of metal..
Cheers,
Kyle
Hi Kyle,
No the case is just a case which includes the button and screws, but does not come with the internal tack switch on the circuit board.
