Im a new owner of a 2006 malibu to go along with my 98 s-10 blazer. I just receive my two remote key fobs in the mail from the dealer and I need to know how to program them to my car. I know that their is a way to program them without paying the dealer to do it. Any ideas on how to do this to the malibu?

 

I was going to ask the same thing, but for a 1999 LS Malibu. The one I'm looking at doesn't come with remotes.

Can anyone help us? [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

I can't remember exactly how your supposed to do it so your probly going to have to play with it alittle bit but I give you the jist of how it's done on most GM vehicles.

First either the key has to be on or has to be off. I can't remember
Then press and hold the lock button and then a few seconds later it should unlock and then lock again. This is where you will have to try different ways. If it doesn't work with lock then press and hold the unlock button.
After it has unlocked and locked again then on one of the key fobs press both the unlock and lock buttons.
Then it will again unlock and lock again.

You'll have to do it for each key fob and you'll just to have to play with a little bit trying different things. If you have to have the key on then after you program the key fob then cycle the key from on to off and then back on. But I'm pretty sure they key doesn't have to be on.

 

I already have tried that. That worked on the older GMs. It can be done but it a different way Im trying to find out.

 

Which way did you do it? Like which buttons did you press and how. You sure you did it right.

That is the only way I know of other than using the tech. 2

 

01+ models use these instructions:

1) Sit in the driver's seat
2) Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder
3) Close all the doors
4) Press and hold unlock on the door lock switch (on the door)
5) While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, insert and remove the ignition key twice. DO NOT ROTATE THE KEY.. JUST SLIDE IT IN AND BACK OUT.
6) Insert the ignition key the third time, leaving the key in the ignition cylinder. DO NOT TURN KEY
7) Release the door lock switch. You will hear 3 chimes indicating the transmitter
programming is active.
8) Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the keyless entry remote at the same time (one remote) for 12 seconds. You will hear two chimes. This indicates the
transmitter has been programmed.
9) Repeat step 8 for all additional transmitters to be programmed
10) Exit programming by removing the key from the ignition cylinder

 

Ahh yes I have done that just once. I can't beleive I didn't remember that.

Good info.

 

I have an 03 Chevy Malibu and tried the instructions above with no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas? I can't get the car to go into programming mode....

 

HI,
I have an 04 Malibu Max and that suggestion did not work for me either. Did you get any more suggestions? Also, I am new to the forum, how do I post my own questions? Thanks for your help.
