Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) Question

When I acquired my 1995 Corvette in 1999 it was without the PKE transmitter. The previous owner had lost it. I purchased a new transmitter and successfully programmed it. Recently that transmitter failed (not a battery problem) so I purchased another one, and again successfully programmed it. The owners manual states that only a maximum of three transmiitters can be programmed. What happens when this third one fails and I purchase number four? Will I have a problem?

Wish I knew the answer for you. I am sure someone will be able to help.

By the way, do you know the option code for the passive keyless entry?

RPO for PKE is AUO.

I think it means you can program up to 3 transmitters for one car. There is no limit as such as far as running out of transmitters. :cool:

PKE was standard, it was not an option, on all 93-96 C4s :D

Also you can only program 3 at one time.

This is true. One car can hold 3 PKE codes. If you've losted one, then you need to program the new one in 3 times to kick the others out.

Is GM programming these for you? What have they been charging you for a programming?

The previous owner of my car left me without PKE.

No. Just follow the instructions in the owners manual. Heck GM, would probably charge you an hour for each and then not get it right! :jester
