Keyless entry Remote can be program by doing the following, you must program all remotes at the same time,
else the remotes not included in the programming will not work.

Make sure the codes in the back of the new remote matches your old stock remote. Some key fob may look the same
but won't work with each other. Be sure to have all Key fobs you want working with you when you do this.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

2 Within 1-4 seconds push the transmitter lock or the unlock button.

3 Within 1-4 seconds turn the ignition switch OFF

4 Within 1-4 seconds turn the ignition switch ON (II).

5 Within 1-4 seconds push the transmitter lock or the unlock buttin.

6. Within 1-4 seconds turn the ignition switch OFF.

7. Within 1-4 seconds turn the ignition switch ON (II).

8. Within 1-4 seconds push the transmitter lock or the unlock button.

9. Within 1-4 seconds turn the ignition switch OFF.

10. Within 1-4 seconds turn the ignition switch ON (II).

11. Within 1-4 seconds push the transmitter lock or the unlock button.

12. Confirm you can hear the sound on the door lock actuators. Within 1-4 seconds, push the transmittor lock or
onlock button again.

13. Within 10 sec, aim the transmitters whos codes you want to store at the receiver, and press the transmitter
lock or unlock buttons. Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter
code is stores. Make sure you program all transmitters you want working within 10 seconds of each other.
Ones not included in this programming will no longer work.

14. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and pull out the key

15. Confirm proper operation with the new codes.



***make sure the serial number on the backs match.....Program at your own risk***

sitting in dr. seat, put the master key in ignition, and turn to on.engine OFF. press the gas pedal 5 times to
floor and release. now press brake 6 times (press and release)

remove master key from ignition. install new key and turn to on...engine off. press gas to floor once. now wait.
the security light will blink for about 45-60 seconds, then it will go off if you did it correctly. once the light
is off, car should start.

Yes you have to follow the instructions, then when you get to this step you must aim all of the remotes you want to program towards the glovebox area
