my car is an 07 with comfort access. My battery died in the fob so i replaced it and now it works to turn the car on freely, but wont unlock or lock it! anyone know how to program it? i've read some ridiculous stuff and tried it, but i have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean it will allow the car to start via the comfort access feature or do you need to insert the key into the key slot?


I don't think any reprogramming is going to solve this problem. I have had my battery out for quite a while, replaced it and it works. If it starts the car with the key in your pocket then the locks should work too.

Is your second key working properly?

With your first key... What about the buttons? Lock/unlock/trunk/panic alarm?
