i am trying to customize my remote to my keyless option but i am gettin this message: "customizing not avail until linked to remote," what exactly does this mean and how can i get it to synch or 'link'??

 

The owner's manual says how, exactly. It's holding down two of the buttons for some amount of time, but I don't recall which 2 or how long.
A search of this site for 'link remote' should bring it up, too.

 

Where is this message showing ?? In the MID? Are your remotes programmed to lock, unlock, trunk...etc?

 

MID? not sure what that means but, i think its showing there. and yes everything is programmed.

 

where exctly are you seeing the message? The MID is the multi info display .......... last gauge cluster on the right

 

its on the back of the remote.... i think it's the lock.unlock button.

 

I had the same problem.

Yes, you hold down both the lock and unlock at the same time for a couple of seconds. It alternates between link and unlink so if you get impatient and do it twice you are back where you started.

i held them both down at the same time until the light blinked once (linked) and..........nothing.

 

Where exactly are you seeing this message?

 

in the MID, this is where the message is appearing. ive tried exactly what other members suggested. i also noticed i have key fob 1 (according to the reverse of the fob)

 

Give this a try...........3G garage.


PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER (KEYFOB)

Storing transmitter codes.
The codes of up to three transmitters can be stored into the keyless receiver unit memory. (If a fourth code is stored, the code which was first input will be erased.)

NOTE: It is important to maintain the time limits between the steps. Make sure the doors, the hood and the trunk lid are closed.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II)

2. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.

3. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.

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

5. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.

6. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.

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

8. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.

9. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.

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

11. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.

12. Confirm you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators within 1 to 4 seconds, then push the transmitter lock or unlock button again, or the code will not be stored.

13. Within 10 seconds, aim the transmitter (up to two additional ones) whose codes you want to store in the keyless 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 remove the key.

15. Confirm proper operation with the transmitters.

NOTE: Once the programming mode is entered, the remote button must be pressed a second time. If the button is not pressed, or if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the programming for all remotes will be cancelled.
