Does anybody know this model and if it is supported ?
I can't find any mor information but the 6-Pin connector suggests JP-1 connection should be possible. Maybe its a re-brand.

As my first purchase didn't work out maybe this one will.

That doesn't look like a UEI remote, so my guess is it is not JP1 compatible. Have you found a user manual online anywhere (if so, please post a link), or if you have the remote already, do you have the manual? Look to see what the programming instructions are, does it use 990, 991, type commands to program it? If it does, that usually means it is a UEI remote and has JP1 potential. I suspect that it doesn't, and it isn't.

No I can't find any manual or additional data.
Regarding the 9xx codes it actually does use them.
On the battery panel, from the pictures on Amazon, there is an example for lock/unlock printed. Also the 6-pin is seen there under the battery panel.
It say hold device+power and the type 995.
Learning mode is device and vol+, to store its device and vol-.
I went for an ULC7955 OFA now. Don't want to risk another unused bar.
The OFA is a brand at least and supports all my devices. Also I found some info here.
Maybe still someone risks some bucks for the mentioned one.
Thx anyways and stay safe

If it uses 995 for learning, then that is a very good clue that it is a UEI remote. You mentioned it having a 6-pin, I didn't see any pics showing that, so does that mean you already bought the remote and have it in your hands? If so, did you try connecting it and downloading using RMIR?
You say that you have now bought an OFA URC-7955 (I assume ULC was a typo), this one should work with RMIR.

It's 995 for lock/ unlock not learning, if that makes a difference. My writing was a bit messed. The device and vol + key together is for learning.
All what I said was from the pictures of the Amazon link. There is one with a closed and opened batt panel. There you see the codes I mentioned and the 6Pin just below the battery cabinet.
I didn't buy it but instead the URC 7955, you are correct.
I am on mobile but home soon, will download the picture and link it here using imgur.
