This just might solve my Rieju SMX 50's ignition issue.

Will this work if the Rieju SMX 50 has an aftermarket alarm?

Dealer wants too much just to reset my Rieju SMX 50. Trying this instead.

My Rieju SMX 50 is basically useless until I get this code. Fingers crossed.

Exactly what I was looking for to fix my Rieju SMX 50.
