Replacing/Reprogramming keyless entry remote
Question:
Nope, for 1998 and newer Blazers, you can program up to 4 remotes, and those remotes can be used on more than one vehicle. You don’t have to do both vehicles at once, and they don’t have to be parked anywhere near each other. You do need all the remotes with you when you program each of the trucks. To the original person who has the 2000 and 1999 Blazers, you can program all 4 of your remotes to work with both trucks…but if you do, do you realize that if they are parked near each other and you hit any button on the fob it will cause both trucks to react? (i.e. both will unlock, or lock, or whatever) If you still want to do this let me know. says… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Yes, you can program one transmitter to operate both vehicles.

Hey if this thread is still being read… I have a ‘98 Pontiac and a ‘00 BlaZeR2, can this be done where both vehicles can be controlled with one FOB?

Response:
Yes, you can program one transmitter to operate both vehicles. To do so, they must both enter into the programming mode at the same time, and must leave the programming mode at the same time. They must be parked within very close proximity.

Response:
Yes, my uncle had his programmed for two vehicles and like the previous post suggested, when you unlock one you unlock the other. His convenience cost him a radar detector, stereo, dash, console and heater control panel (all damaged from the stereo removal.)

Response:
A remote programmed for multiple cars is handy , but wouldn’t you always have to to park them a block apart? Seriously, you’ll have to remember not to use the remote when you want to unlock just one in your driveway, unless you live in a *really* safe neighborhood . ( I want to live there, too. ) GM should come out with an optional extra buttons remote with buttons colour matched to the different vehicles,eh? Although some people would end with fobs big as a scientific calculator.

Response:
Sounds like you can re-program a remote pretty easily following the instructions below. Does anyone know if a remote can be programmed to unlock multiple cars? I’ve got a 2000 and 1999 Blazer for a total of four remotes – sure would be nice to have one that would work on both cars.

Response:
The owner’s manual says replacement transmitters may be obtained, but must be matched to the specific receiver. Here is the programming sequence from the owners manual: 1. Start with the ignition OFF, hold down the power unlock button on the door panel. Turn the ignition key ON, OFF, ON, OFF. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The locks will cycle once. 2. Hold down the key fob lock and unlock buttons for 15 seconds. The locks will again cycle once. 3. Repeat step 2 for each additional key fob. 4. Turn the ignition on to exit the key fob programming mode. Programming is now complete. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I have a 96 Chevy Blazer and only received one remote for the keyless entry. > I want to buy a replacement, there seems to be hundreds on eBay.

Response:
OK, how do I match it to "the specific reciever"? Can I go by the part number on the FOB? So a replacement FOB would have to have the exact same part number? Or do groups of FOBs work for specific recievers?

Response:
I have a 96 Chevy Blazer and only received one remote for the keyless entry. I want to buy a replacement, there seems to be hundreds on eBay. Can I buy anyone and program it for my truck? Does it need to be from GM? Does it need a specific part # on the back? Is there a special programming procedure that I have to follow? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Response:
I don’t know if there are specific programmers you need to have, but here is the programming sequence from the owners manual: 1. Start with the ignition OFF, hold down the power unlock button on the door panel. Turn the ignition key ON, OFF, ON, OFF. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The locks will cycle once. 2. Hold down the key fob lock and unlock buttons for 15 seconds. The locks will again cycle once. 3. Repeat step 2 for each additional key fob. 4. Turn the ignition on to exit the key fob programming mode. Programming is now complete. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I have a 96 Chevy Blazer and only received one remote for the keyless entry. > I want to buy a replacement, there seems to be hundreds on eBay.

Yes, you can program one transmitter to operate both vehicles. To do so, they must both enter into the programming mode at the same time, and must leave the programming mode at the same time. They must be parked within very close proximity.

A remote programmed for multiple cars is handy , but wouldn’t you always have to to park them a block apart? Seriously, you’ll have to remember not to use the remote when you want to unlock just one in your driveway, unless you live in a *really* safe neighborhood . ( I want to live there, too. ) GM should come out with an optional extra buttons remote with buttons colour matched to the different vehicles,eh?

I have a 96 Chevy Blazer and only received one remote for the keyless entry. I want to buy a replacement, there seems to be hundreds on eBay. Can I buy anyone and program it for my truck? Does it need to be from GM? Does it need a specific part # on the back? Is there a special programming procedure that I have to follow? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Response:
I don’t know if there are specific programmers you need to have, but here is the programming sequence from the owners manual: 1. Start with the ignition OFF, hold down the power unlock button on the door panel. Turn the ignition key ON, OFF, ON, OFF. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The locks will cycle once. 2. Hold down the key fob lock and unlock buttons for 15 seconds. The locks will again cycle once. 3. Repeat step 2 for each additional key fob. 4. Turn the ignition on to exit the key fob programming mode. Programming is now complete. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I have a 96 Chevy Blazer and only received one remote for the keyless entry. > I want to buy a replacement, there seems to be hundreds on eBay.

The owner’s manual says replacement transmitters may be obtained, but must be matched to the specific receiver. Here is the programming sequence from the owners manual: 1. Start with the ignition OFF, hold down the power unlock button on the door panel. Turn the ignition key ON, OFF, ON, OFF. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The locks will cycle once. 2. Hold down the key fob lock and unlock buttons for 15 seconds. The locks will again cycle once. 3. Repeat step 2 for each additional key fob. 4. Turn the ignition on to exit the key fob programming mode.

Response:
OK, how do I match it to "the specific reciever"? Can I go by the part number on the FOB? So a replacement FOB would have to have the exact same part number? Or do groups of FOBs work for specific recievers?
