Use this procedure for New Body Style.
1. Close all doors
2. Insert key into ignition
3. Hold down the power UNLOCK button on the driver's door panel, continue to hold down
until instructed to release in step 9.

4. Perform steps 5 through 8 in a fairly rapid succession.
5. Turn the ignition to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the engine.)
6. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
7. Turn the ignition to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the engine.)
8. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
9. Release the power UNLOCK button on the door panel. The vehicle should respond by
door locks locking and unlocking automatically. (If locks do not cycle after you let go,
not before you let go of the unlock button, then the vehicle has not entered programming
mode and you must start procedure over. Remove key from ignition, open drivers door
and return to step 1 ). If the locks do cycle automatically then proceed to step 10.

10. Hold down the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the remote until the doors lock and
unlock. This may take up to 30 seconds.

11. Repeat step 10 NOW for each additional remote. (Including any existing remotes).
12. Turn the ignition to the ON position to exit the programming mode.
13. Test remote(s).

    Use this procedure for Classic body style.
    1. Locate the Data Link Port. It is located under dash drivers side. Be sure you
    know which pins are 8 and 4.

    (Notice port is wider on top row)














    2. Make sure there are metal contact pins in terminals 8 and 4. Connect 8 to 4 with a suitable
    jumper wire (leave the jumper wire connected throughout the programming procedure). Make
    sure you know which terminals are 8 and 4. The vehicle will respond by locking and unlocking the
    doors to signify entering of programming mode.
    3. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together on the first transmitter to be
    programmed. After about 15 seconds, the vehicle will respond by locking and unlocking the doors.
    Release the buttons on the transmitter.

    4. Within one minute, repeat the previous step on the remaining transmitters to be programmed.
    5. Remove jumper wire applied to the OBDII Port.

How do I find out if my 2008 base chevy uplander has keyless entry

Looking at the service info for your Uplander, it has Remote Control Door Lock Receiver technology, so keyless entry should work if you have a capable key fob.

Your Uplander will need the key fob programmed by a service center or dealer with the technology to program those GM vehicles that can't be done manually (i.e. Tech 2 scan tool).

Locked keys in 1999 lincoln town car executive and no keyless entry. can I gain entrance without an expensive locksmith?

Hello Jennifer Jackson...

No... even LINCOLN windows are harder to break
(sorry... your LINCOLN is pretty secure).

Worse... the best price I've paid to get a double sided
PATS (passive anti-theft system) key cut = $6.

Bring your own key... But this was all about the price of PREVENTING your current situation... (oops).

If your ONLY key is truly "inside"...
Your goose is pretty much cooked... The cost of
the LOCKSMITH is pretty trivial compared to your
alternatives... Dealers will zing you MUCH BETTER
than your "expensive locksmith"...

But what ever you do... (my recommendation)... Since
you prefer not to be prepared... (no door code or FOB)
Don't pass on the opportunity to have that same SMITHY
at least tell you about your door code POSSIBILITIES
or at least program a remote FOB for you ...

A RESPONSIBLE "expensive locksmith" will
explain the WISDOM of NEVER having less than 2 (TWO) transponder keys. (by reading your owners manual you can program the FOBs yourself (FREE).

How do you manage the "no" keyless entry...?
I remain pretty sure the number pad... & KEY FOB
(wireless transmitter) were standard equipment...

2 SPARE keys minimum... ALWAYS.

1) Purchase your Malibu key fob online at https://www.keylessentryremotefob.com/Chevrolet-Malibu-Remotes-and-Keys-s/3733.htm

2) Call a locksmith for programming. They are usually more affordable and they come to you.
