98 cavalier remote programming
 

does anyone know how to program a keyless remote for a cavalier?

stock or aftermarket?

I know aftermarket companies make them.

I'm 95% sure its the factory one ....

You'll need the TECHII gm scan tool. I'm not sure if anyone else makes something to program the remotes but thats what I use at at work.You'll probably have to take it to a dealership.

later tonight, ill copy the info from my Denali owners manual, maybe itll work for you. its a 99 and i did my one remote once, i havent gotten around to my other, but you gotta pull the radio fuse and all that good stuff.

ahhh ok because i'm getting mixed results in my "research". it is factory remote system

I have the hook up and I have u covered :)

im kinda buzzed right now. ina few min, ill wander to find my owners manual... if i dont post back.. i passed out. i gotta be at a meetign with my First Seragnt at 9 am so we'll see where i end up... driveway or bed

ok, im back, please at leats try this, or at leats consider it, it took me alot of effort and determination to go out to my truck, lol. now ill do my best to type what my manual says....

"1. turn the ignition to run then to off. this will disarm the theft-deterrent system
2. remove the radio fuse. this fuse is located in the maing fuse box(it goes on to explain where it is in my truck but just find it in ur car)
3. turn the ignition from off to run three times quickly(within five seconds). The vehicle will respond by locking the doors, unlocking the drivers doors and releasing the tailgate or panel doors(my truck is a yukon, not sure what itll do for u). Your transmitter is now ready to match the vehicle.
4. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The vehicle wuill respond as in step 3.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.
6. When you have finished matching all of your transmitters, replace the RADIO fuse.
7. Check that all transmitters work by pressing their buttons.

If the transmittetrs dont work, or if you'd rather not match the transmitters yourselfm see your dealer"


thats all from my manual... hope it helps...my bed is now calling my name,...

Step 1. Turn ignition off

Step 2. Ground the program pin.(within one second, Lock, Unlock and Trunk will cycle to indicate module ready for programming.)**the program pin is the two wire connector plugged into the RKE reciever in the trunk of the vehicle at the Left Wheelhouse. Leave the main harness plugged in but unhook the two wire connector and ground the pins.**

Step 3. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons until:
Lock, Unlock, Trunk, and Horn cycles to indicate the transmitter has successfully been programmed.
(This takes no more then 12 seconds)
Step 4. Repeat step 3 for the remaining number of transmitters
Step 5. Remove the ground from the program pin.
Step 6. Verify proper operation of the transmitters.

Or you could follow SmokingSS's hammered post. I frankly don't care :)
