Savvy. How do I get my new key remote to work?

Opening the door with the key should turn the alarm off. It is the certified way to get into a car if the key fob remote fails. Get a local auto locksmith to get you a new fob and key and program it. Keep the old one as a spare key.

Please follow the instructions step-by-step in order for the remote programming to work. These instructions are useful for 1999-2004 Honda Civic. This procedure clears the transmitter codes and creates new ones, so you must program allremotes at the same time, even if one or more is already working.

• Enter the car and close all doors.
• Each of the following steps must be completed within five seconds of completing the previous step. If you take longer or make a mistake, start the entire procedure over again.
• Insert the key into the ignition, and hold one remote in your left hand. Whenever the instructions say to press the LOCK button, you should press the lock button on the remote for about a second and then release it.
• Perform each of the following three steps in order, then repeat all three steps two more times, for a total of three times each:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, marked II.
2. Press the LOCK button.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position, marked I.

• Do this three times!
• Next, turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II) for a fourth time.
• Press the LOCK button again. The door locks should now make a cycling sound, indicating that the system has entered Programming Mode.
• Press the LOCK button one more time to program this remote. If you have other remotes to program, press the LOCK button on each one in turn. The door locks should make the cycling sound after you press LOCK on each remote. You may program up to three remotes, and they must all be programmed within ten seconds of each othe

• Turn the ignition off and remove the key. The remotes are now programmed and may be tested.
• If you've got a trunk/hatch release, hold the button for this function for a few seconds.

GOOD LUCK!

Good luck

Assuming it's a standard GM half moon style key fob, you can get replacements soon many sources including dealerships, locksmiths, and ebay.

Programming depends on whether you already have a working key?

If you don't, you will have to go to a dealer or find a locksmith who has the right equipment (I suspect not many do).

THis works for Holden Commodores of that era, most GM products should be similar:
If you have a working key, it's relatively straight forward, as the car can program new keys.
1 remove screws holding key blades into the remote heads of both keys.
2 remote the key blade from the *new* key and put aside.
3 insert old (working) key into ignition and start the car.
4 with car running, carefully slide the remote head off the key in the ignition barrel. Car should stay running.
5 carefully slide new remote head onto the old key blade sitting in ignition. Make sure the metal contact inside the key blade insert makes contact with the key blade. Make certain the small contact pin on the facing edge of the remote makes contact with the metal slide ring on the outside of the ignition barrel - these two contacts form a circuit.
6 The key fob should program almost immediately, but leave the fob in position for 30 secs to a minute to ensure its done.
7 turn car off and reassemble keys.
8 test all functions of new key - remote entry and engine start.

(get key blank cut by a locksmith before commencing the above!)

I hate to insult your intelligence but the younger generation is very electronic savvy but ignorant of the old ways. A young girl I know encountered the same problem and didn't know that the ignition key placed in the door lock and turned would open the car door.

It might be cheaper to install a remote car starter, but you still need a key to insert and turn to run in order to operate the vehicle and release the steering wheel lock.

If not the battery (replacement) then check to make sure the transponder is not missing from the remote. Should be a small plastic to slot in the key. If still not working then you may need to reprogram it. It can only work if you have 2 set of keys to put in the ignition:

[1] Take the key that needs programming put it in the ignition and turn to the on position and then press and hold in the alarm reset button..

[2] While still holding in the reset button turn the ignition off and remove the key..

[3] Re-insert the key and turn the Ignition to the ON position.

[4] Release the alarm reset button and then press it in once..

[5] Now with the ignition still switched on take hold of your SPARE key and press the lock button on your spare key..the alarm should "BEEP" once..

[6] Now press the Lock button on the key that has lost its programming..alarm should "BEEP" again..

[7] Switch ignition off.

Try that it should work

You need to have the VW dealer or a well equipped VW savvy repair shop scan the body control module (or whatever VW calls it) and see what codes return, it is likely the problem, but hold on you can't jut pop one in it must be programmed for your car.

I have the 2010 Toyota Venza push to start. I lost the original key, so i bought a new key with the remote and its was programmed successful but this remote only had the three buttons on it, instead of four buttons ( Including the Hutch button). So i bought another new remote with the four buttons today and I want to know if it will work when i switch the programmed key into the new remote?
