I put new batteries in one remote. No diff. Matt L. Do I run a chance of rendering the car dead by doing the below process you had posted earlier?

If not, or if your computer has been replaced (the replacement units have the lock-out) you can activate it. Open the driver's window, lock the door with the door cylinder, open it with the interior lock knob. Then put the key in the ignition cylinder and engage the starter motor. If you have DAS, the red and green lamps will light alternatively, and the engine will not start (the starter motor will engage). If you don't have DAS, the engine will start normally.

I did get one remote to program finally. It is very unreliable and the range is about 2-3 ft. from the mirror. I rarely can get it to work from out side the car. Anything a person can do to improve range?

I'd try another set of batteries first. Perhaps cleaning the receiver cover (the black thing under the mirror) would help, especially if your car was owned by a heavy smoker.

As for the procedure above to disallow DAS, to get the car to start you would have to insert the key in the door and unlock the car. That's it.
