Default AU 2/3 series remote usable on au1?

I'm just wondering what I would have to do to use the au series 2/3 remotes on an au1? I really hate the remotes they use on the au1; the buttons are bad, they break easily (plus people think you drive an e-series :P) and the later series ones look much better/sturdier.

So yes can they be used on a series 1? And if so, how?

Not totally correct Austin, Series 1's got smartlock, series 1 upgrade and onwards had smartshield. But no, the series 2 remotes won't work on series one cars.

My AU1 fairmont is the update model with smartshield. Took it to Ford a while back but they couldn't programme the s2/3 remote to work with mine. Strange because you'd think being smartshield that it would have worked but..

Often referred to by car yards as the Series 1.5!
