How can i program a new key fob to my pre f/l catera?
« on: 21 October 2011, 22:37:06 »
Hi all, I bought a used 4 button key Rob for my 3.0 98 catera and am wondering if I need to take it to the dealer to program or if I can do it myself?

4 button? We only have max of 3. Unlock, Lock & on Facelifts Boot open.

You will need car pass (credit card sized bit of paper, with some codes on it)

You need tech2 to program, has to be done by a dealer.  :y

Hmm. Yea this one has the boot open and fuel door as well.
