I went to Best Buy and paid one of their stereo installers 20 bucks to program the keyless remote.

Turn the ignition switch 'off/on' 3 times and stay in ON position. Push the Valet switch 2 times and holding in on 2nd push until a long chirp is heard then release the valet switch. (The valet switch can be found under dash board, driver side, down the steering column by the gas and break pedal. Its a button.) You are now in the transmitter programming mode. Press and hold any button of the transmitter until the siren responds with a confirming chirp, indicating the signal has been stored into memory. Exit: Turn ignition to 'Off' position, or leave it for 15 seconds. 3 long chirps & 3 parking light flashes will confirm exit.

I never programmed mine. I placed the old computer chip into the new remote case.

Make sure the battery is in the right way. Shouldn't need to be reprogram. Your fob only puts out one frequency, it's up to your car to remember which unless you make it forget by resetting it, it won't. I would pull apart and make sure it's 100% correct. You can try reprogramming it, but I don't see it necessary.

I'm pretty sure you can program it without a FOB. When I programmed the new FOB, I had to reprogram the old one as well. 30 seconds and you're done.

Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons. I had to do it one button at a time, manually. As to how that works, I'm sorry but I can't remember exactly. I just remember fighting with the thing for a long time. This remote has now become nearly useless, as the main select button has to be mashed hard to get it to react, and the up/down selector ring is also barely functioning. It has also become very position sensitive and has to be pointed directly at the Dish box to work, and is slow even then. I have bought a new Sony RM-VLZ620 to replace it. Sorry I was not more help. If I knew then what I know now about the URC, I would have sent it back. You should too.

I just bought an extra fob - looks very similar to yours. I was told the numbers on the back need to be identical. Assuming they are, a locksmith can reprogram but also told that your existing key fob and the new one have to be programmed/ reprogramed at the same time of the existing one will no longer function as the program will change. Hope that helps.

I had no problem programming my keypad and remote. However, I had been made aware of the old versus the new keypad problem previously. Confirm you have the current model. If not, exchange it.

Hi Mr Patrick,I got this remote clicker almost 10 months back without access to programming guide. I had to struggle little bit to download the progamming guide. Finally got success in downloading right programming guide.Tried steps mentioned in the guide and got success in resetting the remote for my car. Since then this remote is working good and no more problems.

Two fobs.If you have them (fobs) it is very easy to program a new one. If not, you will need to go to a dealer (or locksmith) and have your fobs reprogramed. I was fortunate. One of my fobs was broke but I could still get it to work. Hope you do too.

In order to properly transfer the transmitter code to the Keyless Entry you have to physically connect one of the remote transmitters to the keyless unit using the special three pronged connector that is included with the unit (it is taped into the back panel that attaches to the wall. Follow the direction shown in Step 1. You must follow these directions exactly as shown while the remote transmitter is attached to the Keyless unit and you have to be pressing the remote transmitter button the entire time you are setting up your 4 digit code. If you have followed these directions and the unit still does not work, there is probably something wrong with the unit or the battery in your remote transmitter is dead.

the new one I bought was programmed by a special machine at my local Meineke. I do believe it does need to be reprogrammed by someone.

I no longer have my instructions. I programmed it but it never worked at all so I threw it out. Sorry.

You should be able to program it yourself. I was able to program mine. It did take two tries though. The instructions indicated that I might have to reset the code sequence by hitting one of the buttons several times (something like 20 times). I ended up having to do that after my first try failed. Once I did that then my second attempt at programming worked just fine.

Hi Sharon. I have also had problems with mine. I bought on for my mother and while I liked that she could use it....it has been very hard to program. I will see if I still have the instruction sheet and email you a copy. I can likely do this tomorrow

Yes, I've only ever had one and it died. I ordered this skeptically, but when I received it, it took no longer than 2 minutes to program. It will come with a set of instructions and if you follow those to a T, you should be good to go.

The replacement key fob will definitely work, and it comes with a set of instructions. Not very difficult to program.

I've ordered two of these keys through Amazon.com, and the first one came with a web address to get the instructions. The second one came with no information at all. I have double-checked, and you can easily Google the instructions. It only takes a few minutes to do the programming. I've ready reviews by people who say it didn't work for them, but I never had a problem.
