So I always put my FOB on my dresser and never had any problems. I wake up this morning at 8:30 to my Bulldog eating it like its a prime rib. Long story short, I can open the doors and all but it will not crank. Looks like im SOL. I also put it in the glove compartment holder and still says no FOB detected. Is there anything else I can do to crank it up? I have never had to replace a FOB but it doesnt seem like it would be cheap.......

You only have 1 FOB?

jackhall99

My question also. If you really don't have the second FOB that came with the car, break out your wallet.

Sorry for the situation.

See if putting the dog in car will help getting it started, or buy a new FOB.

Be sure when you put it in the glove box compartment the buttons are oriented on the correct side otherwise it will not recognize it.

You don't have a FOB. It is a fob. Gene Culley will fix you up.

There is a proceedure in the manual for programing, but since you don't have a good working fob, you may have to have it towed to a dealer to get it programmed.

You may want to buy a couple.

No, the long procedure lets you program a new fob without a good old fob.

johnodrake

Correct - but there have been reports of the long proceedure not working, hence my admonition that you MAY have to go to the dealer. You will have to go if the car was a Canadian car.....

Did you ask the bulldog why he did it ?

Jeramey

Yeah I bought the car a year ago and only have one FOB. I took it apart and the board does not realy look that bad. It had a lot of slober on it though so I am cleaning it and letting it dry and going to put it back together and see if it will crank.........If not, will just be ordering a new one. Thankfully I have a old eclipse I can drive in the mean time....

Next time give the dog prime rib and he wont eat the fob...Good luck on your situation!

Is the long version the Canadian VERSION?

johnodrake

No - The Canadian disable feature does not have a long version - only way to program a fob is to have two working or go to the dealer.

rowdymax

You can program a new remote with the long version...Go on Ebay or on this forum and people are selling the fobs all the time for a decent price...

Here is the procedure for programming a new remote...The buttons must face the passenger door with the key ring towards seat...You'll need the key to do this also...

Is the FOB eating bulldog still alive?

not08crmanymore

Do I need 2 keys to do the long procedure??I lost fob one and the key.Can I take the one key out of the hatch lock and insert it into the fob???Do I need to do that for programming?

Justasheet

I'll keep an eye on my fob for sure thanks to your post.

Haha! I got a good laugh out of this comment. Uh... did it work?

No, they are not the same thing. Canadian cars only allow the short version, the long must be done by a dealer. European cars are even more restrictive, they allow no owner programming and both the short and long version must be done by a dealer.
