Help, "NO FOB DETECTED"
hey guys, I have an 08 thats been sitting for a year, batterys been dead...
Anyways, I charge up the Battery (and put Booster Pak on it) try and Start it and get error "No Fobs Detected" I have the original fob and key.
I put key in Trunk and do the fob reprogram procedure and program the fob.
The Car still does not recognize the fob, although it does let me put the car in accessory mode and play the Radio, open/close the windows/doors... the radio stations and memory buttons 1+2 both still hold their memory.
I tried changing the battery in the remote 2 times still nothing.
Any ideas?

Does the FOB work when you place it in the slot inside of your glove box?
Do you have any recharging devices in the cabin?
Do you have the FOB in the same pocket as your cell phone.
Not seeing the FOB does NOT MEAN you need to reprogram the FOB to the car. It could be anything I previously mentioned of a bad FOB battery.

Um...
With the FOB in the slot, it should start the car. The slot allows you to get it running with a dead FOB battery.
If you got no fob detected WITH the FOB in the slot, then the FOB has been run through the wash, has a dead battery, or gone bad.
If the FOB is doing it now AFTER you have tried to program it, then it might behoove you to replace the battery in the FOB and try the LONG programming again.

Ok, you're closer! Now it sounds like you've killed your car battery doing all of the programming! Get a charger on that thing and try and start it.
