[s-cars] 95.5 RF Keyless Remote FAQ, v3

[Ian Duff]

Programming the 1995.5 and later Radio Frequency
Keyless Remotes
Note: This is NOT the procedure for infrared remotes.

======================================================
Here's how to get all the remotes to lock and unlock
the doors. Which key goes where does not matter, since
we're reprogramming the remotes, not the keys (keys are
not programmable, anyway). There is no correlation
between key and remote, except for the prestige <g> of
having the lighted key.

You will need:
* All radio frequency remotes, with good batteries.
  Simplest is to replace the batteries with new ones.
  I used Duracell DL2032.
* Two keys. Coincidentally, the lighted key uses one
  625 watch/camera battery, and bulb p/n N 902 625 01.
------------------------------------------------------
1)  Put one key in the ignition, and turn to "On",
    dash lights lit, but car not running.  Get out and
    close the driver's door. Might not be a bad idea
    to roll down the driver's window, to ensure you
    don't lock yourself out (you can't really, but
    it does give some peace of mind)!

2)  Put the other key in the driver's door lock.

3)  Lock the car with the key in the driver's door.

4)  Press both buttons on the first remote until car
    unlocks. This should take about 5 seconds.

5)  Set the remote aside, and select the next remote.

Note: Do NOT turn the ignition off between remotes.

6)  Lock the car again with the key in the driver's door.

7)  Press both buttons on the next remote until car
    unlocks.

8)  If you have more than two remotes, repeat 6) and
    7) with each succeeding remote until done.

9)  Turn the ignition off and remove the key.

The remotes should now all work. They should each lock
and unlock the car.

======================================================
Here's how to get the remotes to invoke the appropriate
stored seat memory position.

You will need:
* All radio frequency remotes, as above.
* Seat memory buttons programmed to desired settings.
------------------------------------------------------

10) Select the remote you want to invoke seat memory
    position one.

11) With the ignition off, open the driver's door, and
    leave it open.

12) Press seat memory button one, and wait for the seat
    and mirror to move to the stored position.

13) With the driver's door still open, lock the car by
    pressing the lock button on the remote. The car
    will lock, except for the driver's door.

14) Press and hold the seat memory button one.

15) Press and release the unlock button on the remote.

16) When the car unlocks, release seat memory button one.
    The first remote is now programmed to both lock and
    unlock, and to invoke seat memory position one. Set
    it aside as completed.

17) Repeat 12) through 16), using the appropriate seat
    memory button, until you've programmed each of your
    remotes.

You have completed programming all your radio frequency
remotes to invoke the appropriate seat memory position.

======================================================
You can test success as follows:

18) Close the driver's door. Lock the car using remote
    one. The car should lock.

19) Unlock car using remote one. The car should unlock.

20) Open the door. The seat and driver's door rearview
    should move to memory position one.

21) Repeat 18), 19) and 20) with each succeeding remote.

Ta da! You should be in business!
