Default Programing a Key Fob

2 Questions Please

1...Can I program a new key fob for my 99 or do I have to take into the dealer?

2... Will a 2000 Key fob work on a 99?

Thanks

Question1...Yes using your DIC.

2. Turn radio off.
3. Press DIC RESET button.
4. Press OPTIONS until display is blank.
5. Press and hold RESET for 3 seconds.
6. Press OPTIONS until FOB TRAINING displayed.
7. Press RESET to begin programming sequence.
8. Simultaneously press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
fob for 13 seconds. Message will appear on DIC when remote is
programmed.
9. Turn ignition off and remove key.

Another thing I read about this-if you program a new fob, you must (re)program ALL fobs (up to 3), at the same time.

The 2000 model reote will work on your 99,you just won't have the passive feature any more.

That's correct. Previously working fobs will no longer be programmed to your car until you complete the programming of all existing fobs in a single session. The DIC will prompt you to program a second fob and third fob if you have them. The number on the back of the fob will not make any difference to the programming. The first fob trained will become #1 regardless of the raised number on the back of the fob, etc. You can mix and match 2000 fobs with 97-99 fobs, but as stated there is no passive feature on the 2000 fobs.
