How to Program a Car Remote Key?
2 Answers
Open the driver's side door of the Geely vehicle. Depress the brake pedal of the Geely car to prepare for engine startup. Press the one-touch start button of the Geely car. All dashboard lights illuminate, indicating the engine has started. With the anti-theft system deactivated, open the front left door and toggle it six times within ten seconds, ending in the closed position. Two horn beeps will signal entry into programming mode. Hold down the lock button on the Geely driver's door for over 10 seconds to complete pairing. Continue holding any button on another remote to program up to three keys.
Last time I lost my key, I tried to program a remote key myself. The car model is a Honda 2018. Online instructions said the steps were simple: sit in the car, insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine, then hold down the unlock button on the new remote for a few seconds until the car lights flash, indicating successful pairing. Some cars may require operating the door handle button or keyhole, so it’s best to check the manual. DIY is quite cost-effective—a matching tool on Taobao costs just over 100 RMB, but be careful not to mess up the steps, or you might lock the system and waste your effort. It’s recommended to search for tutorial videos on YouTube first to learn the process. After programming, test the remote multiple times for unlocking and starting. For newer cars like Tesla, which are more complex, you can directly use the app to pair a new key, making it even easier. Remember to buy high-quality remotes to avoid counterfeits.
