Does anyone know if the subject remote supports key moves and advanced codes?

TIA

The 3rd post in this thread implies (to me, anyway) that it does.

Yes, it does keymoves and accepts 5 digit EFC's.

Are you asking because you're shoping and now wonder if that's a good deal???

If so, look closely at the key layout: direct channel entry is difficult as the numbers
are located at the top and those keys are just a bit too small to avoid mistyping...

Thanks everybody. I'm asking for someone else, but thanks for the warning.

I stumbled on this thread. Just for closure, based on what we have learned in the intervening 4 years: The OARC05G is very likely a JP1.4 remote with firmware signature 319701.

sorry for responding to this old post.
So this remote can be reprogrammed using the same tools & cable as a JP1.3?
If not what else is needed?
thanks

No. You need a lot more than that. You really need to read the whole thread to know what you're getting into.

There are other remotes, pretty much identical to this one that actually do work with our tools and cables without requiring any hardware mods, like the URC-7940 and 7950.

Did anyone ever bother to fabricate a JP1 connection and successfully connect to this remote?
