  • Your key has to be pre-coded.
    Make sure that this key is facing with the tip of the proximity remote toward the spot on the steering column where it shows key with two arrow marks.
    *Hold proxy key to the steering column between the marks.
    *Press and Hold brake pedal.
    *Press and Hold push start button.
    **If the car started right away then we good to go just check the remote for functionality.
    *** If on dash show "crossed key" - keep applying brake with your foot, holding the key against that same spot and at the same time just press and hold start button again for a second time(for 5 more seconds) - it should recognize the key this time!
    And if it still didn't go thru ... repeat for another couple of times.
    Usually, it will take one or two times.
    Then you are done.

    Just go to the dealer. This does not work as people are saying. Wasted my money on an OEM fob and now the dealer won’t touch it. If I only would have gone to the dealer to start. What a waste. Very important info that this guy does tell you is that you fob has to be programmed to your car by the dealer or other auto locksmith before you can sync it. Don’t waste your money on the fobs you see online.

    Almost right. One very important step is missing. After you have unlocked the car, before you place the new key fob against the marks, remove the original key a long way from the car or the car will simply start when you press the start/stop button and not program the new key. One other thing, if you have a manual transmission car, place you foot on the clutch not the brake.

    The music interferes with your voice, making it difficult to understand what you are saying.

    This remote is preprogrammed, you are just syncing it to the car.

  • @CECable

    Thank you soooo much! Just performed this procedure for my mother’s car because I sure wasn’t gonna let her use my car. It worked the first time and it all happened in less than 30 seconds. Side note: the music was very annoying and made it difficult to hear you. Perhaps try lowering the volume of the music when adding it to the video.

    Spoke to the dealers that sold us a replacement key for 20 minutes. They were useless. Couldn't get new key to work. Tried other videos and they were rubbish. This was perfect. Worked first time. Thank you.

    The background music makes this useless, you can’t hear the sounds the car is making and have to strain to hear the instructions. Remove the soundtrack
