• I lost all my fobs and got a new one. I went through steps and the new remote works great. Problem is that the anti theft warning light is on all the time now and when I exit the vehicle for more than 10 minutes, when I go to start it, it says ready for remote 2. I can push and hold the start button for 12 seconds and the car will start. This happens every time I leave the vehicle for a long period of time. Any suggestions!
• Awesome worked like a charm!
