Pre-setup
The receiver module to set the code is
located at the drivers side foot well area. right behind the fuse box.. Set your
seat as far back as possible and if you crawl under the dash look for the small
box with the switch on it that says "OFF" and "SET". It should have an antenna
like prod along side of it, but some have expressed they do not see it. Also the
unit is upside down, so the words would be also.

Special Notes: (provided by SF Forum member janeil)
| The little switch lever is best moved by a small screwdriver, since it is recessed. Just move it over to "SET" - you don't have to have the ignition on by the way (I had it off with the key out of the ignition). |
| Then push the lock button (or I guess unlock will work too) on your new remote key fob. ALSO, you need to do the same thing with your old remote key fob, while the switch is in SET. I guess it forgets the old one once you move it to SET. (I found out by trying to use the old one after setting the new one and it didn't work anymore.) So basically program all your key fobs at the same time while the switch is in SET, even your old ones that were already working. |
| Move the switch back to OFF and you're done! |
