This guide will walk you through the steps to program your 2006 Pontiac Solstice key fob, allowing you to regain full control over your vehicle’s remote functions.
Programming Your 2006 Pontiac Solstice Key Fob: DIY Instructions
Here’s how to program your 2006 Pontiac Solstice key fob without needing to visit a dealer. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Ensure all doors of your Pontiac Solstice are fully closed before you begin the programming sequence.
- Insert your ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder, but do not turn the ignition on yet.
- Press and hold the DOOR unlock switch located on the driver’s side door panel. Make sure you are using the door switch, not the remote control buttons.
- While continuously holding the DOOR unlock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition key between the ON and OFF positions three times. Specifically, turn the key to ON, then OFF, then ON, then OFF, and finally to ON and then OFF again. This should be a total of three cycles ending in the OFF position.
- Release the DOOR unlock switch. At this point, the door locks should cycle (lock and then unlock) once. This lock and unlock cycle indicates that your 2006 Pontiac Solstice has successfully entered the key fob programming mode. Remove the key from the ignition.
- Now, take the first key fob you wish to program. Simultaneously press and hold down both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the key fob for approximately 15 seconds. After about 15 seconds, the doors should lock and unlock again. This confirms that this specific key fob has been successfully programmed to your 2006 Pontiac Solstice.
- If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat step 6 for each additional remote. You can program up to four key fobs using this procedure. Remember to program all of your existing remotes at this time as programming new ones may erase the old ones.
- To exit the key fob programming mode, simply turn the ignition switch to the ON position one more time (just turn the key to the ‘ON’ position as if you were about to start the car, but don’t start the engine). This will automatically exit the programming mode.
- Finally, test each programmed key fob to ensure it is working correctly. Verify that the lock, unlock, and any other functions are operating as expected on your 2006 Pontiac Solstice.
By following these steps, you should be able to program your 2006 Pontiac Solstice key fob quickly and easily, avoiding the costs and inconvenience of dealership programming services. Enjoy the convenience of your programmed remote!
