[s-cars] alarm fob for 95.5 S6A

[Lee Levitt]

Thanks Sean!

BTW, this key does not work for a '95.5 S6...it requires the older separate
2 button keyfob. I bought one and could not get it to work.

Also, btw, you can *buy* the same instructions on ebay from some idiot who's
selling them...

Yikes!

Lee
