I just bought a new key from the dealer and what do I need to do to program the key?

any help appreciated. Thanks.

 

You needed to stay at the Dealer.

 

i have a 95. do you really have to program a 99 key?
or are we talking about keyless entry remote

 

Were talking about the chips that are in the key, ya bro you needed to have the dealer deal with that programming.

 

what year did they start doing this?
just for my information

 

1999 was the first year.

 

yeah, u should have it done by the dealer
they charged me 140

 

does any one have this tsb

99-063C NOV 02 thanks

 

Yes you have to have the dealer program the key. You can program the remote entry flob but not the key

I'm not absolutely certain these instructions will work for your 99 but maybe it will. This was taken from http://web2.airmail.net/scutchen/max_faq/

Q: How do I reprogram the Keyless Remote?

A: Here's the procedure from the 1995 Factory Shop Manual

Replacing Remote Controller or Multi-Remote Control Unit (LCU05)

Enter the identity (ID) code manually when:

remote controller or multi-remote control unit LCU05 is replaced.
an additional remote controller is activated.
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.

 

If you still need it programmed, contact Victor at 7186759415. He will come to you, and he can program and cut the keys for a pretty low price. He programmed and cut two 5th gen keys for me for $65.

Hit him up, he works quick. Also must have all the keys you own with you when its time to program.

 

Thanks a lot, I'll see if he can do it. Thanks
