My remote key had stopped working properly and I thought I had to
change the battery. After I put in the new one, it completely stopped
working.
I had called up one of the dealers and I was told that he charges 80
bucks just for looking at it. If it is covered under the guarentee
period, then he would do it free otherwise I will have to pay.
I have 2 questions -
1. How long is the warranty for this usually? Mine is a Spyder GT 2001.
2. Is there a cheaper way to get this done?

Thanks

This is for a 2G 1995-1997, it may be the same - up to you to verify

To reprogram your keyless entry system for a new key fob:
1) Turn ignition to OFF.
2) Ground pin 1 of the Data Link Connector (black 16-pin connector under
dash driver's side). Pin 4 of this connector is a ground, so placing a
jumper wire between pins 1 & 4 will accomplish this. Grounding pin 1 tells
the system you are getting ready to reprogram it.
3) Close all the doors.
4) Turn the key to ACC, then back to OFF. The power locks will lock/unlock.
The system is now ready to be programmed.
5) Press a button on your key fob.
6) If you have two key fobs, press a button on the second fob within 1
minute of pressing a button on the first one. Both must be programmed at the
same time. If you only have one remote, press a button on it 2 more times to
signal that you only have one.
7) The doors will lock/unlock to signal that the codes were received.
8) Remove the connection between pins 1 & 4.

you do nto have to take it to the dealer,, if you look through some of the
threads you can find instructions on how to do it....sounds like other dude
has a problem... i mean if its that big of a deal do not read the thread

I did the same thing, but i found that the instructions were very easy to
follow! Here they are:

1. Locate the Data Line Connector (DLC) underneath the driver's side
dashboard. The DLC is typically located either to the left or the right of
the steering column base. Notice how the DLC is tapered on both ends: you
will be working on the wider row of cavities
2. Insert keys in Ignition and leave in the off position.
3. Make sure there are metal contact pins in terminals 1 and 4 and connect
the Data Line Connector (DLC) terminal 1 to terminal 4 with a suitable
jumper wire, leave the jumper wire connected throughout the programming
procedure). Make sure you know which terminals are 1 and 4.
4. Within 10 seconds after connecting the jumper wire, press the Hazard
Switch 6 times. (Note) The doors will automatically lock and unlock once at
this time indicating that the system is in the programming mode.
5. Press either the lock or unlock button on the transmitter to be
registered three times within 10 seconds. Upon successful
programming, the door will lock and unlock once.
6. Repeat step 5, with any other remotes to be programmed (up to four
remotes) (including any existing remotes), within one minute. After
completing each programming, the doors will lock and unlock once.
7. Disconnect the programming wire and remove the keys from the
ignition.

For the jumper wire, i was able to use Paperclips... they worked great! If
you want, have someone else in the car to press the hazard switch and the
remote while you hold the paperclips together!
