I purchased an extra keyless remote for my 97 sebring convertible on e-bay. Does anyone out there have instructions on how to program this remote to my car? Thanks

How do program the keyless entry remotes for my '04 Sebring Convertible Touring Edition, I have 2 remotes now but want to add 2 more.

If I am not mistaken this procedure is for the FJ body (coupe), which differs from the JX body (convertible)

The difference is the FJ Sebring coupe & Avenger are products based on the Mitsubishi galant. They utilize a completely different body control module. The remotes are also different, somebody I know has a Sebring coupe and they are totally different.

Some of the other differences are engine management (164 HP vs 168 on 2.5) different a/c, abs, interior, exhaust, power steering, just to name a few.

There appears to be no pin one on the JX body Diagnostic link connector so I do not think that this procedure is the one that is being seeked.

I myself have recently acquired 2 replacement remotes & am unable to program using this procedure.

Does anybody else have the JX Sebring Convert. -JA Cirrus/stratus procedure?

Can anyone tell me if this procedure will work for a 2000 Sebring? I recently bought a remote via internet to replace the original which was lost.

I'm trying to program a remote. I have the instructions but cannot locate pin one. Where is it hidden?
