No offense taken. It's more of an issue that I'm debating whether I want to pay this amount of money for the feature...is keyless entry really worth $150 to me?

Interesting. The dealer wants $75 for the remote itself (after tax), while gmpartsdirect wants $55 shipped. Surely if I bought the remote from gmpartsdirect it would be in new working condition? I would then most likely have it programmed by the local dealer.

 

I had alternate instructions at one point but can't find them, as I recall it had something to do with clucking like a chicken under a full moon while your neighbor's cousin's sister-in-law did the electric slide .... Honestly it was something to the effect of turning the ignition to run, without starting 3 times, leaving the key in the ignition and something to do with pressing the lock/unlock button on the door, hearing a beep and holding or pressing one or both buttons on the remote ... Didn't work for me but I could program through the radio. I'll keep looking to see if I can find the paper but since it didn't work for me I'm 90% sure I tossed it in the trash.

With that being said and not meaning to highjack the OP's thread but...

How do you get the part numbers? Everytime I find the part I want it just has the description but no number? Thought I used to get part numbers but wonder if they changed that feature to make it so you had to order from them.

Have been trying to find GM, Ford and Dodge sites that will let you look up part numbers to use at work but have had no luck

 

I looked it up on alldata and there is no other way than with scanner, it didn't specify a tech2 but that's what I have soooo....

Keyless is a nice option and if the car has it I would want it, but that's me. Glad you weren't offended btw.

 

Oh and Jafo a ford is key on key off 8 times leave ignition in run the doors will lock and unlock and then hit any button on the desired remote and the doors should respond accordingly. Programming complete for a ford when this is done and you shut the key off.

I think that could've been what you were thinking of.

 

I have a 2000 Monte Carlo SS and it has the factory stereo. I also have two fobs for my car: the original fob, as well as a backup fob I got from GM. The original fob works but I also wanted the backup fob to be functional if I ever needed it. I followed these steps to program the backup fob and it started to work, but then the original stopped working. After that, I repeated your process again on the original fob and it started working again, but then the backup fob stopped working. Is there any way I can get both fobs to work simultaneously?

 

​​​​​​In newer GM cars, you can program, I think, up to six fobs . Only the first two are recognized by the seat memory. Looks like your car will only allow one at a time.

 

When you enter the fob programming mode, you must program all the fobs you want to use with the car during that time.

When you enter fob programming, the first fob you program erases it's previous memory of fobs, hence why you need to program all fobs at the same time.
