IMPORTANT – READ THIS FIRST
Programming a key fob for your 2008 Saturn Vue requires the expertise of a professional automotive locksmith or dealership. Unfortunately, DIY programming methods are not applicable for this vehicle due to the complexity of its security systems. Specific diagnostic tools are necessary to properly program your key fobs.
Please provide the following information to your locksmith or automotive technician to assist them with the programming process.
Attention Automotive Professionals:
If you encounter difficulties programming a new remote to a 2008 Saturn Vue using your standard procedure, consider these alternative steps which may be helpful. Instead of the typical extended hold of the LOCK & UNLOCK buttons, try this: Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for approximately 6 seconds. After 6 seconds, release both buttons at the same time, and then immediately tap only the UNLOCK button once.
If the remote programming is still unsuccessful, please ensure the vehicle’s battery is fully charged, ideally at 12V or higher. It’s recommended to connect a jump pack to the vehicle’s battery during the programming process to maintain consistent power. Keep in mind that the 2008 Saturn Vue system has a maximum capacity of 4 programmed remotes. Verify that the vehicle has not already reached its remote limit. Also, check for any aftermarket alarm systems or remote start installations, as these can interfere with the programming process and may need temporary deactivation.
While we rigorously test all remotes before shipment, occasional battery drain during transit can occur due to accidental button presses. If programming issues persist after these steps, please advise your customer to contact us directly for further support and assistance.
