Key fob reprogramming

My 05 came with the original equipment fobs and I have since put on my remote start. My coworker had a need for my old fobs so I gave them to him. Now when he leaves he unlocks my truck as well as his. Is there a way to change my truck or his to not do this?

Yes, re-program your fobs again. I had both of my trucks programed to the same fobs, but it became a problem with the other truck being left unlocked. I changed one fob to only work on the most driven truck.

There is a "how to" on the forum.

I think you are going to need one OEM FOB to do it. Everytime you program one FOB, it erases all the FOB and you have to do them again. So, program your truck to one FOB and all the others should be erased.

Note, you are programming your truck not the FOBs.

The procedure is in your owners manual.

One would wonder if putting it in programming mode, and just not programming any fobs, would clear the existing programming, or just leave it as is. The only way to know would be to try it.

Ah, good point. Definitely worth a try.
