I don't want to sound sarcastic, but....have you tried new batteries in the remote? If you have or can find a owners manual, it might tell you in there how to do it. We got extra remote keys made for the 300C, the dealer had to do them. Try your local auto alarm install shop, someone there may be able to help you...

I would definitely try a alarm shop or something first - the stealership is really proud of those keyless remotes, if ya know what I mean......It might be cheaper to have an alarm shop just install and give you new ones. It was like $200 to do my daughters Camry

Check the battery and the contacts inside the fob. If that fails there's cheap alarm and remote starter systems that come with keyless entry, probably way less than what the dealership would ask.

Sometimes they're just like a garage door opener. On the inside they have a bunch of little switches. If it does just match them up from the factory one and it might.

But they probably don;t do that any more and came up with some rediculas fancy new technology that works while your standing on your head on the moon drinking a beer, just so it costs more money [:'(]

Um...you definately can't program a remote from an 06 model to a 94, if I was reading that correctly.

I bought replacement remotes much cheaper than the dealer was offering them for on ThePartsYouNeed.com.

They might have what you're looking for.

ebay has a guy that sells the fobs for cheep and claims he can program them for you... 2 different syles..well 3 really..that i know off... 1 is a style taht you can just point to the truck and follow the programing code out of the manual and it will program to that vehicle... they stopped doing that b/c of code theiving ... you can obviously see the problem with that... then they went to the switch system so you had to get info off of the vehicle...saposedly info the owner could have access to.... and 3rd is a system setup so that the dealership had to program the fob with a machine to the VIN of your car... thats the 3 that i know of... im sure there many more but thats the only ones i had run ins with...

like mentioned above... get a decent RS with keyless and wire it in... isnt hard to do at all..

in ebay... AST ultrastart brand.. decent price... and really good RS and keyless systems... ive installed numerous amounts from that brand and never had a customer come back
