Re: Keys?

i have a key fob (remote) only, no valet key. but the remote part does not work. i replaced the batteries thinking that was the problem, but no avail. any ideas?

If you've got 2 keys...I found this on Vortex...

If new or additional remote locking/alarm
system transmitters are required, use the
following procedure to program the new
transmitter or reprogram existing transmitters.
Note:
Up to a maximum of four transmitters may
be programmed for each vehicle.
Programming procedure for all four
transmitters MUST be completed within one
minute.
Service
– Switch ignition ON.
– Close all doors and rear hatch/trunk lid.
– Using second key in driver's door, turn key to
UNLOCK position and lock and unlock hold for approx. 10
seconds or until alarm horn sounds 3 times.
– Press the unlock/disarm button on first
transmitter (alarm horn will briefly sound
once to confirm programming).
– Press the unlock/disarm button on second
transmitter (alarm horn will briefly sound
twice to confirm programming).
– Repeat procedure for transmitters 3 and 4 (if
necessary).
– Turn and hold the key in the driver's door lock
to the UNLOCK position (Within ten seconds
the alarm horn will sound 3 times).
– Switch ignition OFF.

Please Just Remember To Be Careful Where You Get The Key Half As I Had A Customer Order A Bunch From Some Web Site The He Was Promised Would Work, So We Cut 'em And Then They Would Not Adapt To The Car, So, Be Warned Could Be Tricky.

is this the cost if i'm buying the keys as well? what if i have a remote and need it programmed/re-synched? how much will that cost?

Yeah, in the end it cost me more because I tried to eBay my way out of a problem. Guess we should start listening to Bullfrog on this one....
