Heyy
My friend has a 2000 bonnie sei and he asked me if there was a way to program another keyless entry/lock to work on his car also he said there is something in his manual that says he can program another key from his ignition without going to the dealer is this correct??

Thanks Mazee

He should have two controllers (key fobs), one is for driver 1, the other for driver 2. They can both be programmed & personalized through the Driver Information Center (DIC). Is this what he'* referring to?

I think Mark what he is asking is if he can get a new remote that did not come with the car & program it w/out going to the stealers. I may be incorrect.

this is true. don't remember how to exectly do it but someone will chime it on how.. I've done it with my bonnie. the the remote has to be done at the dealer if that was what the previous question was.

You can synchronize an existing fob when the battery goes dead but you have to reprogram a new fob if it has never been sync'd before and this done with a tech 2 scanner at the dealer.

To resync the fob press and hold both the lock and un-lock at the same time for 7 sec.
you should be within 5 ft of the car.

to program a new remote you have to make sure the FCC ID numbers match the numbers on the original remote

00+ guys...can't we use a procedure from techinfo to program in a new FOB instead of needing a Tech 2?

i dont believe so, Haro ran into this problem when he got his 00

To program a new key fob it has to be done with a Tech 2 on the 00+. You can resynchronize them by standing with in 5 feet of vehicle and hold lock and unlock at the same time for 7 sec. The door locks will cycle to confirm they sync'd.
