Programming 1999 Alero Remote

Hey guys,

Searching to no avail, I have not found any information about programming a NEW keyless entry remote for a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. I bought the remote on ebay and of course it didn't come with instructions.

GM/UTA: 25678792
FCC ID: kobut1bt
Canada: 1983 101 393

I keep reading that you can program this without a scan tool but I keep finding instructions for a 2000. Please let me know how I can do this I don't even know where the closest oldsmobile dealer is.....

Thank You

Checkout the link below for a Grand Am where programming a RKE is the same. I am quite sure the 1999 requires a Tech II scan tool normally found at the dealer.

looking at http://www.autotechs.com/catalog/especial.htm

you will see this:


OLDSMOBILEYearDealer onlyNeed 1 Working Remote.Original
Alero1999 X

That shows that the dealer only needs to do 2001+

Please let me know if anyone can find the instructions

Try the link below which has procedures that may work or search the Grand Am and Mailbu forums because the remotes and body control module are the same to include RKE programming.

If you ever find a working procedure for a 1999 Alero let us know. Good Luck!

Once the remote control door lock 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.

Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry programming/diagnostic mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.


Up to 4 transmitters may be programmed.

Transmitter Programming Procedure (Method 1 - No Tools Required)
To program the transmitters, perform the following procedure while seated in the vehicle driver's seat:

Close all the vehicle doors.
Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Press and hold unlock on the door lock switch.

Important
To successfully enter the keyless entry programming/diagnostic mode, steps 4 through 6 must be completed within 25 seconds of pressing the door unlock switch.


While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, insert and remove the ignition key twice. Do not rotate the ignition lock cylinder.
Insert the ignition key a third time leaving the key in the ignition lock cylinder. The ignition must remain in the LOCK position for the rest of the procedure.
Release the door lock switch. The chime will sound three chimes to signal that transmitter programming/diagnostic mode is active.
Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time on the keyless entry transmitter for approximately 4 seconds. The chime will sound two times to signal that the transmitter has been programmed successfully.
Repeat step 7 for the rest of the transmitters (for a total of 4 transmitters).
To exit the transmitter programming/diagnostic mode perform either of the following:
Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
