VSC-2 Remote lost need help

So I recently purchased an exhaust thats valved and it came with the VSC-2 controller however, the original owner misplaced the remote. From what I've read all of the controllers utilize the same code but I obviously need one to program the controller to my homelink.

So big question is, would anyone be willing to send me theirs to program and then I'll send it back? Also open to other options here but I can't seem to buy just a remote.

Thanks all!

Its probably just a fixed frequency remote control

This is the remote. When i get home ill check the remote to see if its a fixed frequency or rolling frequency remote. If its a fixed frequency, you should be able to just buy the ebay link remote controls

I appreciate it! I have a fixed frequency remote here that's a spare but it didn't work on it. I figured it's probably a specific frequency for the VSC controller

Okay I checked my remote control. It does not specifically say 315mhz on the back, so no guarantee the ebay remote will work. However I bet it will. Why not email manufacturer and see if a 315mhz remote will work?

I've sent a few emails already to them, I guess another won't hurt lol. I haven't heard from them yet but hopefully I will.

I appreciate the help!

I opened my remote and it has a r315a ( 315 MHz) transmitter on the mainboard. So you should be good

Well I finally got a response from them and they claim there's 600 different coding for the remotes so there's no way to ever replace just a remote without having one to start with.

So I'm back to if someone wanted to send me a remote so I can try and see if it links I'll be happy to cover shipping lol.

Oof. Sucks that the seller cant find either remote since theres 2 of them. With 600 different versions i doubt someones remote will work.

I dont use my vsc-2 anymore since i installed a canchecked vent display. I can sell you my system + 2 remote for $100. If you get lucky and the remotes work to sync then you can just resell the system.
