Remote Qs

Can you purchase another remote? When we got the car today, they only handed us one key and one remote. I was just wondering if and where I could buy these? Or should I go back up to the dealer and say that I want another remote?

Go back to the dealer and get another one. Mine came with 2 when I bought my car. If they won't give one to you, you could always get one on eBay.

So would it work right out of the box, or would you have to program it and how would you do that? Its a 1997, so maybe the previous owner only turned one in?

You may have to program it but that is done as follows:

ID Code Entry Procedure

To enter the ID code, follow this procedure.

Entering "Setting mode":
(1) Close and lock all doors.

(2) Insert and remove the key from the ignition more than six times within 10 seconds. (The hazard warning lamp will then flash twice.) At this time, the original ID codes are eliminated.

ID code entry:
(3) Turn ignition key to "ACC" position.

(4) Push lock button on the new remote controller once (for example, if door is locked using the remote controller during this ID code entry enable state, a new ID code can be entered). At this time, the new ID code is entered. (The hazard warning lamp will then flash twice.)

Additional ID code entry
(5) If you need to activate additional remote controllers, unlock the driver's door, then lock again with door lock ****.

(6) Push lock button on the additional new remote controller once.

(7) This ID code entry enable state and setting mode remain until the driver's door is opened.

NOTE
If you need to activate more than two additional new remote controllers, repeat the procedure "Additional ID code entry" for each new remote controller.
If the same ID code that exists in the memory is input, the hazard warning lamps will flash twice but the entry will be ignored.
Entry of maximum four ID codes is allowed and any attempt to enter more will be ignored.
Any ID codes entered after termination of the "setting mode" will not be accepted. Additionally remote control signals will be inhibited when an ID code has not been entered during the "setting" mode.

It couldn't hurt to ask.

thanks ravq, you would think that after spending 12000 on a car, they would at least include more than one remote and one key

No problem. I agree the least they can do is provide you with one more remote.
