Do I have to have a working remote to program this new remote? Do I have to take it to a dealer 2 have it programmed. I do not currently have a remote

I looked everywhere online. in the car manual it says you have to have another one programed... had to take it to the dealership. The guy there said they had a frequency generator of some sort that tricks the car in to programing mode

Yes, either way, if you have a remote or no remote need to take it to dealer to get programmed. Probably cost @ $50.00 w/o remote maybe a little cheaper if you have one.

Yes, I wish I had changed the old remotes out earlier, it would of saved me some frustration. The new ones work very well and the price I paid was great! It comes with a sheet of paper that sends you to an Internet address so you can program them to your vehicle. Good luck!

you will have to refer to the owners manual and follow the instructions from there. If that does not work you may have to seek dealership help. I was fortunate and had no issues, verfiy the remote you have (original) fcc is number matches the new unit you have.

Even If The Remote Has One Chip Or The Other, You Will Need A Locksmith With The Specific Tools For The Programming Of Each Remote You May Buy. I Recently Bought Two OEM Remotes. The Dealer Would Program The For Close To 400.00 Both. I Decided To Do Some Research And Found That Going To A Locksmith With The Programming Tools Needed Will Charge You Half As Much As I Paid For Both remotes And In Some Instances You Can Save A Little More With Applicable Discounts. Hope This Helps.

You probably need to take it to a dealer. It takes a "Tech II Computer" (which plugs in to a recepticle under the dash) to program the car and remote to each other. A good local repair shop (Tuffy-type place) may have one; it would be worth a call because they'll charge you less than the dealer.

The remote only requires two batteries but if it will not unlock the doors you may have to take it to the dealership to have it reprogrammed.

I don't know, but reading a search on the internet seems to indicate the remote fob must be programmed by a dealer, any GM dealer should have the tech2 unit to do the programming.

Only a dealer or locksmith can program it with the remote and vehicle both present. Call both the dealer and locksmith to compare and get the best price.

You can look for a the way to program it throw the web, but you'll need a pair of working keys. If you don't have the extra keys, will need for a dealer to program it.

These remotes must be programmed by a dealer or locksmith, please note we have no codes or pins available that are needed to program this fob.

It did not work on my 2002. There are a number of web sites with complicated magical ways to make a remote work on your car i.e.. turn the lights on twice, slam the drivers door hard and put the window down half way. All seem to be bogus. If you want a remote I suggest you take it to the dealer and have it programed. I had no luck buying one off the internet and trying to program it myself and the dealer will probably cost more up front but will be less in the long run.

google your car make and model and the number on the back of the remote. there are more ways than one to do this. if you can't get it at all, call around for a key smith, or lock smith. they can do the same thing the dealer can do and charge you much less. gl

I looked mine up on google. It had to be programed by a locksmith or by the dealer. I went with the dealer. My old remote still worked for unlocking the trunk, but when they took it back they cleared it out so it was no good any more. Let them know if you want your old one still working. Dealer charged $45

You need to have both remotes in the car when you do the programing. Here is a link to a youtube video that does an excellent job describing the process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvwMd0FzFTA

You will have to still have to program the new remote and transponder to the car. That should be a simple process
