Hello all

We recently lost one of our keys to the '99 and had to cough up the $85 or so dollars to have a new one cut and programmed.

The fella at the shop told my wife that we could do it ourselves as long as we had two programmed keys.

Can anyone here outline the process for me? I am creating a complete set of spare keys (PO Box, house, trucks, etc.) as being without one set is a bit inconvenient.

I did a search on this forum but could not find anything. Also, I realize that I could go and ask the local dealership, but like the fact that the folks on here have so much knowledge about these things (plus I like seeing it in print - I find it easier).

Thanks!

Chris

 

If you have your owners manual it tells you in there. I read it in mine. It seems simple, it's just a series of turnning the ignition on and off. Do you have your owners manual?

 

I must be asleep at the wheel here .... thanks Jefferys, why I didn't think to check the manual I don't know ..... I have the owners manual and I will read up on it tomorrow (it is almost midnight here).

Thanks!

Chris

 

What's next if you followed the instructions 'exactly' in the manual to reprogram a key....and still nothing happens??? Does anybody have any suggestions??

Thanks for any help...

 

Another Lazarus award for a newcomer!

You always need to provide:

1) Exact details on your vehicle

2) Exact details on what you have done

3) Details of what you have observed

I guess I can always apologize for my ignorance, but I doubt nothing will ever improve some people's genuine rudeness........sorry if I bothered your obvious superiority.

 

Grow a thicker skin. If you can't trade elbows with the guys, stay in the girl's room...

If you do need help solving the vehicle's problems, provide the technical details and we'll be happy to help.

when i did my keys i needed the two already working keyss anf the one to be programed. put first key in, turn to run, count to three. second key in, turn to run, count to three. last the key to be programed in ,run, count to three. presto that should work. have all the keys ready cause you have to be quick about it. there are wise asses everywhere dont be so sesitive.

 

Thank you 02 crew.
It's nice to see some professionalism in here and see some one in here actually try to help some one out without the sarcasim and the constant threat of people who suffer from LDS.
It's amazing how Alfa-Tuff you can be behind a key board.
