IKicker610 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 OK so Ive had my car for almost two years now and its had the same problem since Ive got it. The security system is stock i believe and it seems to have a different security fob on it, the fob has 5 buttons but that's not important. When i lock my car the button works fine on the fob but most of the time when i try and unlock it my car flashes like it received the command but it doesn't actually unlock the door for some reason so i have to manually unlock it with my key. As soon as i open the door my alarm goes off until i put my key in the ignition and start it. Any one have any idea why it does this?

corey0928 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Probably just an issue with the stock system then. Take it to a dealer and ask them to look at it Edited April 20, 2011 by corey0928 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baller95 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 You need to reprogram the key fob. The key is already programmed to your car thats where theres no issue when you put the key in and start it. I had this issue with my Cadillac as well.
