First you need to clear the engine code

My car had an engine code for a misfire that I wasn't aware of. The programmer kept beeping and didn't program the keyfobs. I cleared all the codes and then the programmer worked fine. I've been waiting for this product for 7 years. In the past the local dealer cheated me and I never went to any dealer for programming. Unfortunately this was my only option as no other programs including locksmith worked for my model and year. So thanks Dorman, for the first time in 7 years I have a fully…

It worked, but hardly.

The instructions are incomprehensible, I followed them and the video and hardly programmed a key fob. However, the car reports that the battery is low and needs cleaning every time it is started. I contacted Dorman and the only solution was to order a replacement with a Revain, a replacement unit that I couldn't even get into programming mode. It works and it's cheaper than buying a key fob and paying the dealer to program it, but I'm not happy at all. I was unable to program the second remote…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

It works. But you must know what you are.

Works. But you must know that you MUST PROGRAM ALL THE KEYFOBS AT THE SAME TIME! I bought it as a Christmas present and programmed key fob A. After Christmas we bought another one (key ring B). When we switched to program B, we had A in the ignition while programming. B is now programmed, but A no longer works. I thought it was because A was close to the programmer when he made B. I removed B from the area and reprogrammed A. Guess B stops working and only works 3 times. You have to leave the…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled

Don't buy these remote control keychains!

I would just like to start by saying that I am a professional auto mechanic with over 25 years of experience in the industry. I have had mixed experiences with Dorman products, good and bad. This is the one I don't recommend and here's why. Advantages and disadvantages. First Pro: The actual programming of the remote controls was easy, especially with the included programming tool (which allowed the user to try it three times. nice πŸ‘). The radio key worked for basic operations. Cons: Keyfobs…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design

It worked great on my 2008 Chevy Malibu Classic LT!

I was a little concerned this might not work after reading some of the reviews. However, this worked fine on my 2008 Chevy Malibu Classic LT. I also purchased two additional key fobs from KeylessOptions here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KTIR1ZU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I was able to program all three key fobs in one go without any problems and without the original key fob. I was worried it wouldn't work without the original FOB because the package mentions…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Only available in white
