How Do I Know If My Car Equipped With A Keyless Entry Remote System? I have a 1999 Ford Windstar. I bought several remotes but can't get my locks to engage. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Cathy

It does indeed have keyless entry. It needs reprogramming when you get a new remote. Also if you disconnect the battery. Usually a local car alarm fitting shop, or an auto-electrician will do it. Plus of course a Ford dealership.

Bought new keyless remote for my 06 buick lacross. need to know how to program it.

There is no way manually program a keyless remote to this vehicle. This vehicle requires special equipment be connected to the vehicle diagnostic port to program the remote into the keyless entry module. Sorry many new cars are this way.

Have new keyless remote, how do i program it? 2006 Uplander

The dealer should be able to program it for you. When I bought mine, the dealer could not find the keyless remote, they took another remote for a different van and they just programmed it right there and then.
