Hi Richard,

here's what one owner reported (ObieClark):

"Note: Must be carried out in 8 seconds to access learn mode. Best done with two people. You should have both remotes available or second one will not work.

Open hood and have assistant hold hood alarm switch down.


From inside car, with all doors closed, ignition off and all lock buttons up


Turn ignition on then off


Cycle drivers door button down then up.


Assistant now releases hood switch.


Turn ignition on then off.


If done correctly, horn will beep once and dash LED will light up. This indicates the learn mode has been accessed. If this doesn't happen repeat 1 through 6.


From inside car, push and hold first remote. The dash LED should flash 8 cycles a second for one second indicating that the code was received. If this does not happen repeat steps 1 through 6 again.


Push and hold the second remote, if the code is received the dash LED will flash 8 cycles indicating that the code was received. If this does not happen repeat 1 through 8 again.


Note: Turning the ignition on at any time will cancel the learning process. The system can only store two remote codes and must be done at the same time. If you only have one remote program it twice. "


Note: if the BCU has lost sync with the key fob, you'll have to get the dealer to investigate and possibly reprogram and resync the key(s).  Youtube has a small video of this process:

I think the dealers charge $150 or more for this simple fix.
