How to program my keyless entry??

Please help me! I am looking for information of how to program my keyless entry to my car. I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS. I just bought a new remote for it but I can not program it. I've been looking all over the internet for information and it seems like I can find the programming guides to all the other type of cars except mine :banghead: . Please, if somebody knows how to to do it e-mail the instruction to me. I greatly appreciate it. ( [email protected])

You have to take it to the dealer. They are the only ones that can program it. They should have told you that when you bought the remote.

Do you know how much they charge for that?

Do you know how much they charge for that?

why not call and ask a local dealership before bringing up a 2 year old thread? it is going to vary from dealership to dealership.

sorry you don't have to be rude

im not being rude. its just that what it would cost me at my dealership is going to be totally different than what your dealership is going to charge you. and with the posts being 2 years old...these members don't post here anymore

you sounded rude. anyway the reason why i asked is because i called my dealer and their computers are down and they can't look up any prices right now. they would have to call another dealership and call me back. so that's why i thought i would ask. i didn't know i had to look at the dates of the posts. i could have just posted a new topic but it would have been the same so what is the difference if i reply to an old thread or start a new one??

you do nto have to take it to the dealer,, if you look through some of the threads you can find instructions on how to do it....sounds like other dude has a problem... i mean if its that big of a deal do not read the thread

I did the same thing, but i found that the instructions were very easy to follow! Here they are:

1. Locate the Data Line Connector (DLC) underneath the driver's side dashboard. The DLC is typically located either to the left or the right of the steering column base. Notice how the DLC is tapered on both ends: you will be working on the wider row of cavities
2. Insert keys in Ignition and leave in the off position.
3. Make sure there are metal contact pins in terminals 1 and 4 and connect the Data Line Connector (DLC) terminal 1 to terminal 4 with a suitable jumper wire, leave the jumper wire connected throughout the programming procedure). Make sure you know which terminals are 1 and 4.
4. Within 10 seconds after connecting the jumper wire, press the Hazard Switch 6 times. (Note) The doors will automatically lock and unlock once at this time indicating that the system is in the programming mode.
5. Press either the lock or unlock button on the transmitter to be registered three times within 10 seconds. Upon successful
programming, the door will lock and unlock once.
6. Repeat step 5, with any other remotes to be programmed (up to four remotes) (including any existing remotes), within one minute. After completing each programming, the doors will lock and unlock once.
7. Disconnect the programming wire and remove the keys from the
ignition.

For the jumper wire, i was able to use Paperclips... they worked great! If you want, have someone else in the car to press the hazard switch and the remote while you hold the paperclips together! Any other questions, email me! Ill send you the directions in word format with picture diagrams!

THANK YOU SO MUCH BUT I ACTUALLY FOUND MY OLD REMOTE. YOU ARE A NICE GUY THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!! :smile:

no prob man.. good luck

I used this method for my 2002 Mits. Lancer and it worked perfectly. I bought the remote off of eBay for $11.99. It took me a while to find the instructions but thanks to this website I was able to save money by not going to a dealer.

since the thread is alive again, i have no qualms posting :-D

could you post those instructions with pics somewhere? it would make a nice addition to a FAQ.

Do you happen to know if this procedure will also program the Keys, or does it only re-program the remote transmitter? I need to replace my '00 Eclipse GT key also and haven't found anything specific to programming the key.

Thanks in advance!

how to program your keys should be in your manual, as long as you have both keys, if you don't it could be tricky

Bad news for me. I only have 1 original key left. Dealership wants $65 for a duplicate key and another $90 to program it so I would think that there must be a way to do it myself...

i think the manual said something, but i'm not entirely sure, def. refer to your manual

What year is your ride? If it's an 00-05, I'll be glad to take a pic and send it to you via email; I have a 200 Eclipse and these directions were perfect. Please respond with your email.

Hi all, this is my first post to this forum. About a week ago I bought an '02 Eclipse GT and I found the instructions for programing my keyless remote here in this thread. It was working up until the part where I pushed the unlock (or lock) button three times and nothing happened. I changed the battery in my remote and still nothing. Has anyone else had this problem? It's very frustrating, the dealership says they'll charge $40 to do it, and I'd have to take time off work to take the car in. :(

If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate the help!!

Delandra, I am having the same problem. My daughter's car did not come with a remote. I bought one on Ebay. I'll be back when I solve the problem

read the f---ing thread

Very nice first post....wow, they keep getting better and better...lol

I have a G35 2006 and I'm trying to setup my keyless entry. They remote is an Astu15 model and it looks like it's compatible with the car. So can anyone please help me? i'd appreciate it thank you ver much!!!

uh wrong car area.

Elchico,
If you are talking to me: As I told DElandra, I tried the procedure step by step and it did not work.
Meanwhile, maybe you could teach me something about programming remotes. I would teach you about being an A**hole!

GOD I love noobs...such love they spread.

IF YOU CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT, GO TO THE DEALER!!!

IDIOT!!!

Plus, you said you would be back when you solve the problem....it doesnt sound like you fixed it yet, so why are you back???

you have to understand i deal with incompetent people at work all day. And this, many times, is a continuation with that. If you can't figure it out, grow some balls and go to the dealership, because they can do it in little to no time at all. Is it worth the 45 dollars to you to spend 4-5 hours on trying to figure it out, when you can just spend the 45 dollars or so and have that time to spend doing more productive and useful things??

i would think so, i dont' waste my time trying to figure out things when i can be spending time doing things i enjoy doing. So, if you've read teh ENTIRE thread, and followed everything, then all you need to do is go to the dealership and have them figure it out, because either the procedure is faulty, the user is faulty, or the hardware is faulty. in any case, you won't be able to do it, but they will be able to.

If you are so smart and experienced, why doesn't it work?

I bet both of you still get your lunch money stolen on a daily basis.

We are both so smart and experienced that when things dont work out like we expect them to, we stop worrying about it and have SOMEONE ELSE deal with it.
Chances are that the remote you have isnt working with your car because it's the WRONG REMOTE! Like we said previously...go to the dealer and they will be able to fix it. Will you get raped out your ass...more than likely. Will it fix the problem...YES!

Also...I'm older than, lets say 8, so having my lunch money stollen is far from my list of possible concerns. Go back to your mother to change your diaper because judging by the way you are acting, you have soiled yourself and need someone to wipe your ass and have them tell you it's special and better than everyone elses.

I guess I will throw a better zinger at you than the lunch money BS...here I go.

I bet you are such a bitch that you get bent over, and fucked in the ass on a daily basis...AND LIKE IT!

...because either the procedure is faulty, the user is faulty, or the hardware is faulty. in any case, you won't be able to do it, but they will be able to.

i just told you why, pick any of the above reasons.

i'm going to go with it being user error though, because if you missed that, you can't read.

And i steal the lunch money.

and pays me the lunch money to make faulty remotes

I tried this steps but my for some reason i can't make to work. same car and yes can any body please help me out Thanks!

SLEEPER, You are an a**hole. I don't give a crap if you deal with incompetent people all day or not, if you don't want to be bothered then DON'T READ THESE POSTS! This forum is not the place for your rude and insulting remarks!

I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS. Just wanted to add that the instructions posted by kiger work fine except I had to have the key in the accessory position and not the off/lock position ... Then it worked.

Also you need to reprogram all your remotes. I bought 2 new ones, went through the procedure to program the 2 new ones and then the original did not work. So I repeated the procedure again for all three remotes and all were good.

There are other sites that have instructions also which you can google for. The one below also had a good pic of the pin-outs for the connector so you can make sure you jump the right pins. As kiger posted, if you use 2 big paper clips, one in each pin hole (1 and 4) and then touch them together after you turn the key in the ignition it works well and you can do it while sitting at the wheel instead of having to lay on the floor, i.e put the paper clips in the pin holes, sit in front of the wheel, put the key in and turn, touch and hold the clips together and then press the hazzard button 6 times, etc.

Also, I think after programming the new ones did not work until I turned the key to the off position and then started the car ... Or at least put the key in the on position. I'd have to try again to verify that though.

Question. Programming went smoothly but does the horn not chit on activation and seems the alarm does not activate. Is this normal? Thanks.
