Yay!

I got the remote in the mail today.

Anyhow, programming took maybe 15 seconds? Its amazing that a dealership would charge for something that can be done so quick, especially after already sticking a customer with the retail price.

Anyhow, the remote works great and when I went to put in an order for remote for the 96 I noticed I got free shipping, so I bought a 2nd remote for the 99 and a pair for the 96. FINALLY I will have remotes that work and that I can use.

ThePartsYouNeed.com rocks!

 

I got the 2nd order of remotes in today.

I confused myself a little when trying to program the 2nd remote to the 99 because I didn't finish reading. I was programming the new one, but de-programming the first remote. After like 3 tries, I decided to read the whole sheet and found that I had to program them both together.

Now I have 2 remotes for each car which makes life a lot easier. Hopefully these won't end up in the washing machine like the last ones!

 

HI,

We have a local merchant here in Tulsa, OK that orders them directly from the factory. I can provide you with their phone number if you wish to look into them and maybe they might deliver directly to you where you reside?

Here is the name of the company and their address and phone number....I am having the same problem, so good luck finding what you need!!!

Hmm...thanks for the heads up, but I'm set with the remotes now. Batteries Plus sells remotes now...or just batteries?

 

I noticed 2 of the ebay sellers are booted on ebay now - Eagles_Wingz and Sunsetcoverd.

Seems they both just disappeared after a bunch of people paid them.

 

On another forum, somebody mentioned that they had pretty badly limited range with their remote, but if they aimed the remote at their chin, they could get the car to lock and unlock from about 80 ft away.

I tried it when I was headed back to my car from the mall today, and it works...lol. Probably will get brain cancer now...but it about triples the range.

 

Interesting...

 

I read up some more on it, and I guess it uses your head like a focus antenna or something. I tried to use other things like putting the remote on the side of a light pole, but that doesn't help - just something weird I guess.

 

now this is funny, i always thought the people that did this were retarded. now im the retarded one.

 

Welcome to the club! lol
