Programing new key fob

Post by evan023 »

I just got a new key fob because it was broken by someone. I got it from Keylessride.com they didn't include programing instructions and I'm just looking for any ways to do it other than going to the dealership. because the dealer near me quoted me $140 just to program it WTF?
Anyway any ideas?

+1, if your car is a 2000, I believe that the dealer has to do it. You can try the instructions for the 850, they might work for you.

All pre '98 can be programmed by yourself... key off then to position II 5 times (and while in position II) then hit any button on the FOB and it's programmed...you can do 3 FOBS if hit buttons on them within a few seconds of each other. If '98 or newer, it will take the dealer and a PIN number look-up to program.

OR...
If your old one just has a broken case and the electronics are ok,
just swap the guts into the good case... :mrgreen:
Then, next time the case breaks...And it will...
just hit IPD or eBay for a new case. :wink:
