programming new remotes for keyless entry
« on: January 25, 2006, 09:31:13 AM »
My wife bought a 2000 GV with the 6 cylinder, 4x4...etc.  First, dealer missed that it had the factory 6cd changer in it..BONUS!  :D Second, they also missed it had the keyless entry :o :D...at least thats what I think it is.  During my install of a hands free kit for her cell phone, I found/noticed a module under the drivers side of the dash, with the Suzuki name on it, that seems to be the keyless entry module for it.  However, she didn't get any FOB's with the vehicle.  I called the dealer and they said that it has to be brought in to get new remotes for it and they want $100 for programming, and $35 for each factory remote.  She has the original keys for it, (chipped?).  Now I know that with my F150, I can get a new remote from the dealer, do a few turns and clicks of the key, brakes etc to program the unit to accept the new remote.  Can I do this with her Grand Vitara or is the dealer right about having to program it from the vehicle?  I would hate to spend the $100 for programming it if I can just sit at home with a new remote from the dealer and go through a few steps to get it to work.
Thanks all!

All 99 to 05 GV's have a two button remote (04 & 05 may have 3 buttons?). Check e-bay I'm sure you will find some and programing them is a joke.  That box you found thas a little button on it press it and a red light will flash. Then press a button on the remote till it stays red that's it.  As for the key there no chip.

  :o Woohoo!  Thanks!    I don't mind paying the $35 for the remotes...just not the $100 for the programming. ::) :P

Thanks for the info.

ok, what about a 2001 Vitara 2door where the two fobs the car came (used) with worked fine until I replaced the car's battery, and now they don't work.  The keyless control box is black, has a white plug, and absolutely no buttons or lights.  I took the circuit board out of the box to make sure there were no lights or buttons inside either, and there weren't.  help!?
