George: I believe Hofco is in the Los Angeles area. A couple of years ago, I was able to get a replacement remote from them fairly easily (the car and alarm since sold). If you need more info, email me privately and I'll see if I can locate any of the paperwork. Best, Jeffrey BMW ACA - Los Angeles (email me if you want to join!)
