programming keyless entry remote

ff_engbill · 05-25-2003, 08:31 PM

Hey guys, can you help me out? I lost my keyless remote for my 2000 Chev. Monte Carlo. I was able to buy one on E-bay but it didn't come with any instructions. I'd like to see if anyone knows how to program it. It can't be that hard. If all fails, I'll have to take it to a dealer and pay their asking price. Thanx.

Welcome to Af
Looks like you will have to take this one to the dealer.
Here is the procedure though.

<H1>Transmitter Programming</H1>
<P>In the event that a transmitter is lost, program the old
and the new transmitters into the memory of the remote control door lock receiver.
Up to 4 transmitters may be programmed.</P>

<P><FONT COLOR=brown>
<H4>Important</H4><P>Once the keyless entry receiver enters the programming/diagnostic mode,
the programming of the first transmitter erases all previous transmitter programming
information. You must then program all of the transmitters.</P>
<P>Program only 1 vehicle remote control door lock receiver at a
time. If you program multiple receivers simultaneously, the same transmitter
may possibly be programmed to more than 1 remote control door lock
receiver.</P>

I have a 2000 Monte carlo SS and just reprogrammed the Key FOB last night. The Key can be in the Ign. in the ACC mode.

1. Make sure that the RADIO POWER is off.
2. Hold in the DISP Button on the Radio Dash until the SETTINGS appears.
3. Cycle thru the options using the SEEK > button until you get to the FOB PROG Function(option 11)
4. Select this option using the RADIO PRESET button 1
5. The KEY FOB is ready to program. Hit the UNLOCK Button on the FOB. The door should unlock or lock now.

This info is also in the OWNERS MANUAL under the KEYLESS ENTRY section.
As for the KEY FOB ID, (ON BACK OF REMOTE)it is as follows:
GM / UTA 25678792
FCC ID: KOBUT1BT
CANADA: 1983 101 393

You will need to make sure that the remote that you get has these exact numbers on it, otherwise it will not work.

I found one on Ebay for ya...
