Issue programming a new key

[George D]

I tried 8-10 times to program a new fob. I know I was following the instructions to the letter. Everything I read said to put the fob in the slot with the buttons facing the rear of the truck.
I finally turned them around facing forward and it worked the first time.
Go figure...

Thanks Steve. I bought this exact remote - took about 9 days to arrive. Like you, it took a few attempts to program. I have Easy Entry/Exit turned on and that got annoying with the seat moving back and forth so I turned it off in Sync settings. It programmed next attempt - probably coincidence.

FYI, if anyone wants to verify the frequency of your original remote (315 or 433), look up the FCC ID. You can find it in tiny print if you remove the physical key and look inside the exposed slot. The FCC ID of my fob was M3N-A3C054338. From the FCC website, this is 314.95 MHz.

I just programmed the 5-button remote from AliExpress. Turned off easy entry and followed the directions in the manual.

No frunk opening from the remote, but the remote start feature might be handy.
