does the 08 require a different sequence to program the key pad? I have done it like the directions say but I do not get the hazard lights flash.

I get in, close and lock the doors (windows are up)
insert key into ignition 12 times but still get nothing, i have done as many as 25 times but still get no hazard lights flash or jump on any of the needles.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I have tried with doors open, closed, locked, unlocked, lights on, lights off, hazards on, hazards off, fast, slow...

Thanks,

I had to try it a LOT, but I finally got it to work.

I'm not sure what the trick is. I just kept trying until I finally got it.

It took me a million times to get it to be recognized on my '05. I don't know what other advice to give you except to just keep trying.

It is very quirky.

Mine took forever and it still doesn't work right. And once I got it semi programmed my key fob stopped working.

Steve, I remember you having all those problems and we spent a lot of time on the phone with it!

Honestly the programming scenario is one of the stupidest and least user friendly set of instructions I have ever personally executed.

I kept calling Jeff about twice a day asking him how to correctly executive the programming sequence.

...does the 08 require a different sequence to program the key pad?

What does your owner's manual say about programming a new key fob? The sequence is exactly the same as what the owner's manual describes.

I finally figured it out. You insert the key slowly not fast. Then it is just like the directions.
Insert and remove fully
say "one one thousand"
insert and remove fully
say "two one thousand..."
repeat until the hazards flash. (took me 6 times with an 08x)
