Key Fob Programming

[chobes]

Can anyone help with programming a key fob. Purchased a 2000 Cherokee sport that has keyless entry but no Key fob. I have a new key fob for the vehicle now and need to program the vehicle to recognize the new fob.
Anyone know how to do this??? I know that it can be done on a GM, but can it be done on a Jeep?


Thanks, Chobes

Have you tried simultaneously pressing and holding the "lock" and "unlock" buttons on the FOB for 15 seconds?

nah they shouldn't charge you to much $20-$30 maybe, they may not charge anything (depending on how good of a mood they are in at the time), it only takes aboiut 5 minutes to do it.

Just make sure that when they program the remote at the dealership, which is the only way to do it on newer jeeps, that they look up under their program thingamajig, they instead of looking up under keys or entry, they need to look under alarm system or something very similiar to that, or they will not be able to program it.
