Looks like anyone with a defective d-rex is out of luck. Bought mine at a thrift store cheap, without the remote. It did show some signs of life when I put batteries in it so I started looking for a remote. I only found them on eBay where people were asking as much as $100 for one. I finally settled on one for about $40 hoping that was all I needed. It lights up when I push the buttons but the d-rex doesn’t respond now, in fact it doesn’t show any signs of life now when I put good batteries in and turn it on. I’m pretty mechanically inclined, so I might try fixing it but that will require surgically removing the skin and hoping I can get it back on when I’m done. I’d love to hear from anyone else who’s tried it.
It's something that i have repeated and that is pretty usefull because everybody can do this at home.
Sometimes it's only a matter of pressing on a button and everything is back to normal but it's not always that easy for everybody to get there...
To make sure your remote is fonctional do this test:
Open your radio and put it on a AM frequency, ideally just noise and not on a used frequency. Approach your remote emitter to make a direct contact to the antenna. Press on every button of your remote to test them all. You will ear a buzz sound each time you press on a button.That means that it is fonctionnal. If one button do not make the buzz there is a problem with that button. That's it! If it pass the test then the problem might be a matter of programming the remote. Sometimes you just have to press the component you want to use on the remote.
The remote utilise the am frequecy to transmit that's why it does make interference sound. (buzz) It won't work on FM frequency.
Reprogram the remote: press and hold the f button for approximately 8 seconds. the remote will flash three times. press the remote start button on the remote. the remote is now ready to pair. enter vehicle, turn ignition on, press and release button and antenna, immediately press and hold same button, the vehicle should respond with a horn honk and/ or light flash on antenna. While holding button on antenna, pres lock button on remote...vehicle should respond with a confirmation horn honk and/or light flash. Release button on antenna, turn vehicle off. Test system.

AUX is programmed with VCR code 037For brands that require programming, there are two ways to program: Using Code Lists or CodeSearch. Use Code Search if the code lists are not available or if the codes from the lists do notoperate a device.Programming a Device using Code Search:1. Manually turn ON your device (TV, VCR, Cable Box)2. Press and "HOLD" CODE SEARCH3. Press and release the device button you want to set up (TV, VCR, Cable Box) However,if you are using AUX for a device, press and release AUX first and then the devicebutton for the type of device to be programmed (TV, VCR, or Cable). The selecteddevice button will flash once.4. Release CODE SEARCH.5. Press OFF/ON repeatedly until the device turns off (you may have to press up to 100times at a rate of once per second).6. Once the device turns off, press and release ENTER.7. With the device on, press any other button. If the device responds, no further programming is required. If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1-6...Hope this helps! Parsos215
The buzzing noise and lights blinking 5 times is part of the "Find my Vehicle" feature. This usually happens when/if you press the button too long. It takes a little getting use to, but keep practicing pressing the Remote Start button down for only a second or less... you should be releasing the button almost immediately after you hear it make the confirmation tone (meaning the vehicle has received the signal to start). If this doesn't help out, then you may need to go back and talk to your installer about trouble shooting!

It sounds like the remote may need to be reprogrammed to thetelevision or receiver depending on what specifically is not responding. Thefirst thing to do when having problems with a remote it to replace thebatteries, as that is a common cause. If the remote is not changing your DISHchannels then you would need to address the remote to the receiver. This can bedone by pressing 'System Info' button on the receiver then press the 'SAT'button on the remote once, then press the 'Record' button. If the remote is notturning on the television or working the volume, you would need to address theremote to the television. This can be done by doing a 'power scan'. First holddown the TV button for 6 seconds, press and release the power button, then pressand release the 'channel up' button once per second until the television turnsitself off. Lastly, press the pound button, this will lock in the code for yourTV and the remote should then work.
Step 2
Press
and release the component button on your remote that corresponds to the
component you want the remote to operate (TV, VCR, etc.). The
illuminated ON-OFF button will turn on and remain on.
Step 3
Press both the component and the ON-OFF buttons. The illuminated ON-OFF button will turn off, and then will come back on.
Step 4
Release both buttons after the ON-OFF button turns back on. The button should remain illuminated.
Step 5
Press
and release the PLAY button. If the component does not respond after
five seconds, continue to press the PLAY button every five seconds
until the component turns off.
Step 6
Press and release the REVERSE button when the component turns off, then wait to see if the component turns on again.
Step 7
Press and release the STOP button to save the new code.
Press the button on the garage door opener (red, green, or yellow) until the led starts to blink and within 10 seconds or so, ( I think it's actually 30 seconds) press the GDO control button on the remote and the opener should capture the signal and respond to it from then on. Any remotes that were set to control the opener will be wiped and the new one will be in control. There are instructions that came with the opener that show how to do this from the remote or the key-less entry. If you are talking about an in-car device then your vehicle manual may be needed too, but the main thing is to set the GDO to be looking for the code from the car remote and when you press the in-car remote the garage door should respond. If you have programmed a remote or key-less entry then it is about the same procedure.
