Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle. The order in which the transmitters are programmed is important. The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter #2. Use care to program the transmitters correctly.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
  3. Select Body Control Module.
  4. Select Special Functions.
  5. Select Program Key Fobs.
  6. If you are adding a transmitter to the system, or are replacing a transmitter, choose the Add/Replace Key Fobs option. This allows new transmitters to be added without deleting those currently programmed to the module. If you are replacing all transmitters or none of the transmitters are working, choose the Clear memory and Program All Fobs option. This prevents lost or stolen transmitters from being used to access the vehicle.
  7. Follow the scan tool on-screen directions.
  8. After programming the last transmitter, remove the scan tool.
  9. Exit the vehicle. Attempt to lock/unlock the doors to verify the programming.
  10. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
  11. if you don't have a scan tool then you can go to a lock smith they can do it cheaper than the dealer sometime.

Need to program new remotes for a 2009 chevy hhr

As far as I know you need a special tool (Tech II) from Chevrolet to program the remotes. Don't think you can do it on your own. You can double check your owner's manual but unfortunately I think you have to go to the dealer.

Bought new keyless remote for my 06 buick lacross. need to know how to program it.

There is no way manually program a keyless remote to this vehicle. This vehicle requires special equipment be connected to the vehicle diagnostic port to program the remote into the keyless entry module. Sorry many new cars are this way.

I have a 2006 Chevy HHR, bought used about two years ago. We already replaced the keyless remote one (at $90) and it won't work again. New batteries didn't help. When you use the key on the door (rather...

You are going to need to recalibrate the remote to the vehicle. As long as the remote works correctly which i think it should. It will actually tell you how in the owners manual. I am not current with the HHR as i have not worked on one yet. They must be reliable!

TOOK MY 06' 55,6700 MILE EQ TO GET CHANGED. HE SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE MUD...AFTER ALMOST 4 YRS OLD IS IT CORRECT TO HAVE BUILD UP ON THE OIL CAP & THE "I GUESS" TUNNEL INTO THE OIL?

It could happen if you have not been changing the oil on a regular basis. If you bought the vehicle used, maybe the previous owner didn't believe in regular oil changes.
