problem with key fob remote

[dmw319]

i bought an extra key fob remote so i could have a spare, and i followed the instructions on the installuniversity site, but its not working. i turn the key from on/off three times within 5 secnods and everything locks/unlocks as usual, but then when i leave it in the on position, and hold down the lock/unlock on the fob... nothing happens. i already checked the battery on the fob and its brand new (and yes i remembered to take the radio fuse out) any ideas? UGH! i tried it on my brothers camaro as well, and still nothing...

Re: problem with key fob remote

I thought you had to hold down lock and unlock for awhile while the key is in the RUN position?
I just did it on mine recently without reading anything (just from memory) and it worked

yeah, i'm pretty sure there is an interior button you have to hold at the same time, if i am not mistaken its in the owner's manual how to program

no button to hold down but the unlock and lock buttons on the key fob remote
you are gonna make me look it up arent you?

Re: problem with key fob remote

ok.... so I forgot to mention 1 step.. big deal

1) put key in RUN position, then off (disarms the alarm) but you dont have to do this)

2) remove the Radio fuse from the drivers side next to the gauge cluster ( I have no farking clue why you do this, I've NEVER done this step! )

3) turn the key from OFF to RUN a good 3 times quickly (vehicle will respond by locking/unlocking doors/hatch)

4) leave key in RUN position

5) press and hold the unlock and lock buttons for a good 15 seconds (the vehicle will respond again, as in step 3)

6)repeat step 4/5 for the remaining key fobs

Re: problem with key fob remote

i would say its probably a problem with the fob (broken or dead battery)

Re: problem with key fob remote

or incorrectly installed battery
or bad connections

Re: problem with key fob remote

checked the connections, and even tried a new battery, still nothing :(
