03 Aerio- Keyless remote programming?

[SXJoe]

Does anyone know the steps in programming an 03 AerioSX keyless entry remote? My owners manual refers me to an additional supplement that is missing.

I Now have a copy of the programming instructions. If any one needs a copy e-mail me.

I do need the instructions, please.

My local Suz dealer now wants to charge me $75 to do it.
WHAT!!!!!???? Yes, $75 to program the remote and they won't give me the steps. All I had to do was change the battery and the programming was lost and they won't simply give me the few steps.

Hello,

Call the 800 number for Suzuki and they'll send you what you need. I bought remotes and programming from 'keyless ride' before I found the factory ones. The dealership wanted $150 for 2 remotes with programming. Anyway, if I had found the factory remote in time, I could have saved myself $45.00 (from keyless ride).

Is there something complicated about programming the remote again? All I did was swap out the battery and now the remote doesn't work. I bought the battery from the dealership, wouldn't you think they would have been courteous enough to let me know that replacing the battery would require new programming.
When I had to program my remote for my Hondas it was as simple as turning the ignition key 3 or 4 times then pressing the buttons on the remote and it was programmed..... isn't the process for programming this remote the same since it's the original remote and doesn't require a new control module?

What's the 800# to call? Didn't find one in my owner's manual.
You're telling me if I call them they'll simply send me the instructions for programming without charging me anything?
Wouldn't that be a refreshing change

FYI, the Suzuki contact # is 1-800-934-0934. The keyless remote instructions came as a supplement to the owner's manual. Here is the 10 step procedure:

1. Confirm that all doors are closed and the ignition key is NOT in the ignition cylinder.
2. Open the driver's door and within 10 seconds insert the key in the ignition.
3. Now, within 10 seconds remove the key from the ignition.
4. Within the next 20 seconds, push and release the driver's door switch 3 times. This is the switch near the door strike plate which turns on the inside light and indicates that the door is open.
5. Within 10 seconds, insert the key in the ignition.
6. Now, within 10 seconds remove the key from the ignition.
7. Within the next 20 seconds, press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter. Hold both for at least 5 seconds. All the doors will lock or unlock to confirm that procedure was done properly.
8. Within the next 5 seconds after step 7 was complete, press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button to confirm that this process has been properly done. Now, the transmitter has been programmed.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 8 for additional transmitters.
10. Operate each transmitter to verify the programming.

BTW, the supplmental instructions have a Suzuki part number of 99016-54G20-015 (dtd July 2002).

I don't have a scanner at home so emailing these is a challenge. Please let me know how you make out....

Thanks Bill!
Going to give it a shot in a few mins... .will let you know how if it works for me or if another problem exists beyond the programming.

Crap! Didn't work for me.
I'm assuming I'm supposed to keep the door open during this entire process.
Am I supposed to turn the ignition to the ON position or just stick the key in and pull it out?
I'm hoping I'm not missing something so I don't have to go in and have them charge me hours of labor to figure out why the remote all of a sudden stopped working.

Joel,

What I provided was basically what was provided by Suzuki. I've found that as a Japanese product sometimes things get lost in translation. I looked for my keyless ride directions. Here's the Keyless ride procedure (I used this one):

1. Confirm that all doors are closed and the ignition key is out of the ignition cylinder.
2. Open the driver's door.
3. Perform these steps within 10 seconds: Insert key into ignition turn to ON position and back to OFF and remove the key.
4. Within 20 seconds, close and open the drivers door 3 times.
5. Within 10 seconds, insert key into ignition turn to ON position and back to OFF and remove the key.
6. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together on the same remote for at least 5 seconds, then release both buttons.
7. Within 5 seconds, press the LOCK button on the same remote and release. All doors will automatically lock then unlock to confirm that the remote has been properly programmed.
8. Test transmitter for function.
9. Repeat the procedure to program additional remotes.

Good luck...
Bill

Guess something else is going on with my equipment. Those steps didn't work either.
Replace a battery and it costs you an entire system.
