Normally you simply turn the key on--- Press and hold the "unlock and lock"buttons at the same time--Hold them both down until you hear it chime like 3 times---should be set--
Also on older cars if you can't get the fob to work the small battery in the fob could be dead--try replacing it---Eventually the fob just quits ( mine did) on my 98--I just lve with it

The newer style fobs won't program to the 97-2000 receiver. You must have the same style fobs, tpms, and receiver for them to program. If you have a 2000 or older receiver, you MUST have the old style (more expensive) fobs and tpms, or change all three to the newer style.

so if this one really came off a 2000 model ( it doesn't have the passive switch), it could work with my 99?
Sorry for thread jack, I am just thinking this is useful information for everyone
