Remote keys

[Lacalusa]

Hi everyone.. Recently purchased my LC that came with 2 master keys. One key can open n unlock doors manually n also starts the car. But it doesnt open n lock the car via key remote, how do i program key to unlock n lock doors via key remote??? Thanks

Not sure on the answer for re-programming, but ill offer a (dumb) suggestion. Have you checked the battery?

Thats the first thing i did was replace with a new battery but wasnt the solution.

Techstream software will allow you to program a fob or you can take it to the dealer but that will cost you.

Try this I got it from the company I ordered a replacement FOB from. A couple of key, ha ha, items to note.

=> Assume this key starts the LC? If no then you have to go through the process of programming it to the ECU. Find that here

=> Just because it does start the car does not mean it is a programmable remote if not OEM. I had an after market one and apparently while it was able to be used with the ECU the chip was not right for getting the FOB to work. I had to get a key guy involved to get that one to work he switched out the chip and the fob was able to be programmed. Even though it was being seen as a master it was really a clone and that was the issue.

=> Note some folks have had issues programming the FOB if their locks are acting up

Good luck hope this helps

1. Begin with the key out of the ignition.

2. OPEN and UNLOCK the DRIVER'S side door. CLOSE all other doors including the trunk.

3. Within 5 seconds INSERT the key into the ignition and PULL it out TWICE.

4. CLOSE then OPEN the DRIVER's side door TWICE.

5. Insert key INTO the ignition then REMOVE it.

6. CLOSE then OPEN the DRIVER's side door TWICE.

7. Insert the key INTO the ignition and LEAVE it in ignition.

8. CLOSE the DRIVER's side door.

9. Switch the ignition to ON then OFF.

10. REMOVE the key from ignition.

11. The door locks will now cycle to confirm the vehicle has successfully entered programming mode.

12. PUSH and HOLD the LOCK and UNLOCK button for 1.5 seconds on the first remote being
programmed. As soon as you let go PUSH the LOCK button and HOLD it for 2 seconds.

13. The door locks will cycle to confirm successful programming of the remote. If you have any additional remotes to program repeat step 12 if you have no additional remotes proceed to step 14.

14. OPEN the DRIVER'S side door. Programming is now complete
