Step-by-Step Programming Guide for Your K-9 Mundial Remote
The standard programming method for your K-9 Mundial remote involves using the valet switch in your vehicle. Here’s how to do it:
Standard Programming Method
-
Turn Ignition ON: Begin by turning your vehicle’s ignition key to the “ON” position. Do not start the engine, just turn the key to the position where the dashboard lights up.
-
Press Valet Switch 5 Times: Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition “ON”, locate your valet/programming switch. This switch is usually located in an easily accessible but discreet location, such as under the dashboard or near the steering column. Press the valet switch exactly 5 times.
-
Confirmation Chirp: If you have successfully entered programming mode, the siren or horn of your K-9 Mundial car alarm system will briefly sound or chirp. This confirms that the system is ready to learn the new remote code.
-
Press the “Lock” Button: Take your K-9 4419-07 remote and press the “lock” button.
-
Confirmation of Remote Learning: The system will chirp the siren or horn once again to confirm that the remote control has been successfully programmed and its code has been learned by the system.
-
Exit Programming Mode: If no remote code is received within 10 seconds of step 2, the system will automatically exit the learning process. If you need to program additional remotes, repeat steps 3-5 for each remote within this 10-second window.
Troubleshooting Programming Issues
If you encounter difficulties programming your remote, consider these troubleshooting tips:
- Check the Remote Battery: Ensure the batteries in your new remote are fresh and correctly installed. The K-9 4419-07 remote uses two CR2016 batteries.

- Timing is Key: Make sure you press the valet switch 5 times within 5 seconds of turning the ignition “on”. Quick and precise timing is important for entering programming mode.
