I just bought an extra remote from Ebay. Is there anyway I can program it without going to the dealer?

 

lol ok
this is a long process, but heres what you will need
your new key
a MASTER KEY (one with the remote in it)already programmed to car.
to program the transponder- (thats the immobilizer part)
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.

For the remote part. in drivers seat WITH DOOR OPEN. start with door unlocked. first put master key in ignition, turn to on, then back off and remove. using the lock/unlock button on drivers door. press lock.. then unlock 5 times.(lock,unlock,lock,unlock,lock,unlock,lock,un lock,lock,unlock)
Close drivers door, open drivers door.
Performe lock/unlock procedure again.
insert key in to ignition and turn to on, then back off and remove.(at this point the doors should lock and unlock by themselves ONCE)
Now press both lock and unlock buttons on REMOTE. release after about 1.5seconds. now press just the lock button on remote.
now open and close the drivers door a couple times to close programming. if you did it right, remote will now work.
thats it..not to hard once youve done it a few times.

someone correct me if im wrong

 

From the Helms manual:

Storing transmitter codes:
The codes of up to three transmitters can be programed
into the keyless receiver unit memory. (If a fourth code
is stored, the code which was input first will be erased.)
NOTE: It is important to maintain the time limits
between the steps. Make sure the door's, the hood, and
the trunk are closed.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the
receiver in the passenger's multiplex control unit.
3. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the
receiver in the passenger's multiplex control unit.
6. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Within 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (II).
8. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the
receiver in the passenger's multiplex control unit.
9. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Within 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (II).
11. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the
receiver in the passenger's multiplex control unit.
12. Confirm you can hear the sound of the door lock
actuators. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter
lock or unlock button again. The keyless receiver's
now in the programming mode. You must push
transmitter lock or unlock button of the first
tramsmitter again program that transmitter.
13. Within 10 sec., aim the transmitters (up to three)
whose 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 stored.
14. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and pull out the key.
15. Confirm proper operation with the new codes(s).

 

Is there any way to erase whats on a key fob?

 

Holy crap....its way easier than a page of directions lol. You need your all the remotes you wanna program..get in,close door,turn the ignition on and hit lock. release and turn the ignition off...do this three times...on the third time you should hear the doors lock...then just hit lock then unlock on each remote and you are done. Pull the key out and check operation. This is an important step. You may be fooled by it not locking because the key is still in the ignition.

 

someone needs to post a video of this, for all the people (like me) that cant wrap their brain around it.
