Re-program key after battery change?
good tip!
Batteries aren't too expensive at the dealer either! AND that was the only place that I found the odd size battery for my remote. > wrote in message ...

I just replaced the battery and everything was normal. |

More than likely, the electronics within the key uses firmware. This cannot
be changed via loss of power. Hopefully, you wrote down or kept the keycode if you ever have to replace the key. -- Dave How many people with "small savings accounts" closed those accounts in response ot recent ecomomic news... Circumstance - Venezuela closing its doors to U.S. ambassadors. Shortly afterwards, a hurricane enters the Gulf coast in vicinity of oil derrricks, and onshore that has oil refinement capabilities. Subsequently, the price of oil crude drops dramatically. The Russian version of Wall street is virtually failiing for some "unknown reason". A day later, the Russian Navy is having Naval exercises with the Venezuelan Navy. Are U.S. senators less obliged to fulfill their obligation to represent their constiituents if they are running for U.S. president? Where were either one of them on Monday September 22nd, 2008?

Are you talking about the key or the remote???? AS far as starting the car
goes that has nothing to do with a battery. That is transponder based technology that gets its power from the magnetic pickup coil around the ignition switch. The remote may have to be resynchronized but thats no big deal. Craig "Dioclese" <NONE> wrote in message m... > More than likely, the electronics within the key uses firmware.
