Its Hit or miss with those things. I had a set for the wifes 94 and out of 6 fobs, ONly could get 3 to work the car even thoughThe dealership said all 6 were transmitting...It must be the Frequency Range on some fobs will only work certain ones I guess.

tscam1 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Once there is three programmed to the car, is there a way to "clear out" the previously programmed remotes in case you have to replace a lost or broken remote? I know the newer cars use vida to remove previously programmed remotes, didn't know 850's had a limit on the reomtes programmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tca217 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Don't know if this is true but I heard the car programs itself to the remote so just get in whatever car you want the remote to work on and reprogram it to that car. This is just what I heard, so if it don't work, I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tscam1 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 that's kinda what I though about the 850....I don't think there is a limit to the number of remotes programmed to the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tca217 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 that's kinda what I though about the 850....I don't think there is a limit to the number of remotes programmed to the car.I also heard that three is the total limit you can program. I think there was a post on "SWEDESPEED" where I got that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinL Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Couldn't get 4 on a car. Ive tried becasue I wanted to program all four remotes to work on both cars but each car will only take at most three. One remote works both cars so I don't have to carry two around.
