movement Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Okay... I've (my wife) lost our #2 Key Fob for my 2004 CTS. Now, in the past, with my 96 STS, 93 Fleetwood and 91 STS, I've been able to ebay a fob and learn how to program it using various technics. Is that still true? Where's the programming technic? What part number am I looking for for a #2 fob? Thanks in advance! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Darn it forgot to snag my Wife's #2 fob part number; but I'll post soon. Not sure on the programming, since the 3.6l's don't have onboard diagnostics I suppose you need a tech 2.

movement Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thanks Bruce... so you trusted your wife with a fob too! Hope you do better than I did! -Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movement Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Perhaps I could just take it to the Dealer and tell them it stopped working... it's still under warranty.... The Tech 2 is mad expensive... You got the 3.6l also didn't you? We need to crack the code man! -Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movement Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I'm a computer programmer... perhaps we could write a Tech 2 Emulator software and make a USB cable... then we could hook a laptop to it! we could sell the cable and software for $300 and make money and save everybody a lot of loot! exciting! -Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 There are some places that have OBDII software, but the CTS is on the new GM LAN approach for inter-vehicle communication, not TPW as previous. Most readers of course are readers and not bi-directional as the Tech 2 is.

Bruce Nunnally Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hmmm her #2 keyfob had the same part number on the back as my #1 keyfob. Only diff is the 1 or 2. Check http://www.ghg.net/dharrison/canscan.htm The CAN version I suspect would work with the GMLAN, since it is a CAN implementation. I used the VPW version with a laptop and my 96 STS and it worked as advertised. Note he also has a programmer's guide for if you want to work on custom software.

ByStorm Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Men, I have my #2 key (for my STS) programmed for my wife but, the key remains in a special place in the house not on her key chain. Same for my '88 Deville spare. Even though I keep her key on my chain. By the way the wife has only driven the STS once on her last birthday. I took her Jeep to get it washed and waxed as part of a birthday gift. Peace ByStorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjtjwdad Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 On my FOB I wish that trunk button could be disabled. Mine is quite sensitive. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingGoatBalls Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Im not sure but I believe that there is a module that you need to ground out a programming terminal in the connector. You will hear all of the doors unock and the trunk pop. Then you need to um....hrrm i cant seem to remember.....maybe unlock the doors with the fob.....hrrmmm...darn sorry.

S Reno Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 On my FOB I wish that trunk button could be disabled. Mine is quite sensitive. Jim Just put a small piece of thick paper like a postcard over the trunk contacts inside and that should keep it from making a connection. I had to do that so I wouldn't keep tripping the panic alarm when I laid on the couch. Try it, hope it helps. Steve Reno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
