Put your key into your vehicle's ignition, and turn the key to the "On" position, which is two clicks to the right and one short of starting the car.

2
Press the "Override" button on your car alarm remote five times consecutively. The siren will emit a short beep, and the lights on the car will flash on.

3
Press the "Lock" button on your remote control to program that remote with your alarm.

4
Press the "Lock" button on your other remotes to program them as well. Most systems have four slots available for locking. If you have four remotes, program all four. If you have fewer, program them more than once so that all four slots are programmed.

Turn your key to the "Off" position, and remove it from the ignition to end the programming sequence. Test your remotes to see if the programming was successful.

Here is how I programmed a 1997 Toyota Tercel. 1. Turn the key to the "On" position 2. Press the "Override" button on the bottom of the dashboard several times until I heard a beep. The override button in my case is just a socket, I used two staplers to short the two leads. 3. Press and hold the "Lock" button on my first remote control down, until I heard a beep. 4. Press and hold the "Lock" button on my second remote control down, until I heard a beep. 5. Turn the key to the "Off" position, and remove it.
