i want to buy a keyless remote for my 97 cl but affraid if when i buy tht i wont know how to program it.. i dont want to spend 40 dollars for something i cant use. please help

97'CL2.2

the instructions are out there...i forget where but i found them when i bought my new keyless remote...i found these after searching real quick..they are for a 98:

IMPORTANT: Entering the programming mode cancels all learned remote codes, so no previously
programmed remotes will work. You must program all remotes, including existing ones now. Separate
your ignition key from remotes on keychain.

1. Start with your key in your right hand and any remote in your left hand. Keep all additional
remotes easily accessible to your left hand. Insert the key into the ignition.

2. Perform these steps within 5 seconds.

• a. Turn the ignition to the ON position (where the instrument panel lights are turned on without
  starting the engine.)
  b. Press the UNLOCK button on the remote and release.
  c. Turn the ignition back to LOCK (the position where the key is inserted) and leave the key in
  the ignition.
  d. Turn the ignition to the ON position (where the instrument panel lights are turned on
  without starting the engine.)
  e. Press the UNLOCK button on the remote and release.
  f. Turn the ignition back to LOCK (the position where the key is inserted) and leave the key in
  the ignition.
  g. Turn the ignition to the ON position (where the instrument panel lights are turned on
  without starting the engine.)
  h. Press the UNLOCK button on the remote and release.
  
• i. Turn the ignition back to LOCK (the position where the key is inserted) and leave the key in
  the ignition.
  

3. Within 5 seconds turn the ignition to ON.

4. Press the UNLOCK button on the same remote and release. The power door locks will cycle to
confirm the system is in programming mode.

5. Within 10 seconds press the UNLOCK button on the same remote again and release. The door
locks will cycle to confirm that the system accepted this remote.

6. Repeat step 5 for second or third remotes.

7. Turn the key back to LOCK and remove from ignition to exit programming mode.

i lost my old key and key fob and i tried this a million times with my new key fob but it doesn't work!
i even took it to the dealer and they said they couldn't do it either. i don't see how it wouldn't work because the new key fob looks identical to my old one. Idk what else to do but ask you guys for your help!

do you have a 97? These instructions are for the 98 which has a transponder, not sure if the remotes are different

Are the FCC Id's on the back the exact same?

HeartlessMonsta

oh oops! yeah i have a 97.

idk i'd have no way to tell because i lost the other one.

I have a 97 and these instructions still worked for me...my money is on the FCC ID being different

HeartlessMonsta

yeah thats what i'm thinking too. but if i order one from ebay how will i know if the fcc id's match?

97'CL2.2
