Transmitter Programming Domestic
Method 3 - Key Fob Auto Learn
This procedure will first erase all known key fobs. The procedure will then program single or multiple key fobs. Method 3 is a series of three 10 minute key cycles, for a total of 30 minutes. This procedure requires that you have a replacement key fob and the vehicle's mechanical key.
Important
All previously programmed key fobs will be erased upon completion of the 30 minute programming procedure. The order in which the key fobs are programmed will determine its numbering position within the RCDLR memory. The first key fob programmed will be key fob 1, and the second key fob programmed will be key fob 2. The number stamped on the key fob case is for reference only: 2 can be programmed as 1.
Do not place any known good key fobs in the vicinity of the vehicle when programming with Method 3. If the RCDLR recognizes a known good key fob during Method 3 programming, the programming mode will resort to Method 1.
- The vehicle must be OFF.
- Open the rear compartment.
- Place the replacement key fob in the glove box pocket with the buttons facing right.
- At the rear of the vehicle, insert the vehicle key in the rear compartment lock cylinder, located above the license plate and cycle the key 5 times within 5 seconds.
- The DIC will display a message: OFF/ACC TO LEARN.
- Press the OFF/ACC portion of the ignition button.
- The DIC will display a message: WAIT 10 MINUTES, then it will count down from 10 to 0, 1 minute at a time.
- When the counter reaches 0, DIC will display OFF/ACC TO LEARN.
- Repeat steps 6-7 two more times, for a total of 30 minutes.
- A beep will occur and the DIC will display: READY FOR FOB 1. At this time all previously known key fobs have been erased. When fob 1 is programmed a beep will be heard and the DIC will display a message: READY FOR FOB 2.
- Additional key fobs can be programmed by taking fob 1 out of the pocket and inserting fob 2. If desired, up to 4 fobs can be programmed. Once 4 fobs have been learned, the DIC will display a message: MAX FOBS LEARNED, and automatically exit the program mode.
- If learning less than 4 key fobs, press the OFF/ACC portion of the ignition button to exit the program mode.
- Operate the active portion of each key fob in order to verify correct system operation.

Do you have the mechanical key, or was that lost as well?
If you are the legitimate owner, I am sorry for your misfortune as to be so unlucky as to have lost ALL your cars keys. But you can't be surprised if people look at your question skeptically... You have to admit -- its pretty suspicious when someone joins the forum and their very first post is one asking basically how to 'steal' the car or bypass the fob's security features. Not saying its you, but yes, this exact scenario has occurred multiple times before... brand new user joins the forum, no history, no info, and his first post is 'Hi... how do i start the car? I lost both fobs and dont have a key. How can I drive it or make a new one without going to the dealer?"

Best way. Purchase new fob from dealer (can't avoid that), around $60. They probably won't charge you to program it; but they have may want you to leave the car. Plan lunch close by! Then you're in business

There are 2 different procedures in the owner's manual for programming new fobs. The first one listed, the shorter procedure, may be used to program a fob number other than no. 1. The only way you can program a no. 1 fob is to program all of them, which is the longer procedure and is the procedure noted above in 2000C-5's post.
