It sounds like the manufacturer changed the hardware, and is pretending that it's the same RC-5 as the old one. Check out https://github.com/civic/elitech-datareader/issues/45 where someone else tried to use the same version (246c:9001 is the identifier). A question to consider: Is it too late to return the new one and get your money back? Maybe the solution is to switch to a device from a manufacturer that doesn't lie to their customers.
