01 Monte Carlo Keyless Entry

[chad6889]

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 01 MONTE CARLO LS AT AUCTION, AND IT ONLY CAME WITH ONE KEY. MY RADIO HAS THE OPTIONS OF PROGAMMING A FOB. SO CAN I BUY A FOB AND JUST PROGAM IT THROUGH THERE OR IS THERE MORE I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. PLEASE HELP ME!

You can program a FOB if the car came from the factory with
keyless entry option. You have to take it to the dealer to have
them programmed though. Here is the procedure.

Important
All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all previously programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter. Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.


Install a scan tool.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Use the scan tool in order to access the Body Control Module (BCM) Special Function: Program Key Fobs.
Press the START soft key on the scan tool.

Important
The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.


Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of 5-10 seconds, the locks will cycle in order to confirm the programming of that transmitter.
Repeat the previous step in order to program up to 4 transmitters.
Remove the scan tool.
Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

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.
