• Existing, working key fob (if available)
• Owner's manual
• Vehicle keys
• Professional diagnostic and programming tools (if DIY method fails)

 
Check for Onboard Programming

• Within 30 seconds, press "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" on the new key fob simultaneously, then release both buttons at the same time.
• Press either button to complete the programming process. The door locks should cycle to indicate successful programming.

 
Test the New Key Fob
