Car Alarm Problem remote battery replaced

Heey, i just replaced the battery on my car alarm remote. I only have one remote. Now, the buttons don't activate anything, i have to manually unlock the doors etc. The light flashes on the remote so i know the new battery is not faulty. I assume the remote has forgotten it's code.
How can i set it back, all i know is the following
Remote: DEI Hornet
Siren: 515R
I have no idea what alarm system it is as i am yet to find the actual alarm.
Any help would be great, thanks.

hey dude,
umm..this kinda thing happened to a friend's work car (hyundai..don't ask).
Apparently the remote was disturbed, causing it to lose the correct frequency/ies to work with the alarm. An NRMA guy came around and fixed it really quickly. If it's the same problem, this MIGHT help you.
Feel around under the steering wheel area (might be somewhere else, depending on the installation of the alarm) for a little button that you didn't expect to be there. The NRMA guy pressed that button while swiping the remote near it (maybe/probably pressing the remote button too). This reset the frequency that the remote was using - all fixed!
Good luck..
Paul
