A system for programming a code for a wireless short range RF transmitter, for example, an emergency call transmitter or keyless entry, has a RF transmitter that transmits an RF signal containing a code. A code receiver receives a signal containing a code and a processor is operative with the code
A system for programming a code for a wireless short range RF transmitter, for example, an emergency call transmitter or keyless entry, has a RF transmitter that transmits an RF signal containing a code. A code receiver receives a signal containing a code and a processor is operative with the code receiver and RF transmitter. A programming fixture receives the wireless transmitter within a receptacle, and the code receiver within the wireless transmitter and the code transmitter are operative with each other for transmitting a signal containing a new code from the programming fixture to the wireless transmitter. A processor is operative with the code transmitter for modulating the signal and imparting a data stream from the code transmitter to the code receiver and processor and programming a new code. The code receiver and transmitter could be coils to form a transformer.
