<h1>Keyless Entry Remote Programming Instructions – 2008 Saturn Aura</h1> <p><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2008 Saturn Aura does not support onboard programming for keyless entry remote fobs. Remote programming must be performed using advanced diagnostic tools by a certified automotive technician.</p> <p><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b></p> <ul> <li>Step 1: Consult a Certified Automotive Technician Find a technician or service provider who specializes in automotive electronic systems and has access to manufacturer-grade diagnostic equipment compatible with General Motors vehicles.</li> <li>Step 2: Bring All Remote Fobs to Be Programmed Make sure to take all keyless remotes with you. During programming, the system may clear previously stored remotes, requiring all fobs to be present to maintain functionality.</li> <li>Step 3: Confirm Vehicle Is Drivable If the vehicle starts and runs, driving it to the technician’s location may help reduce the overall cost of service compared to requesting on-site programming.</li> <li>Step 4: Provide Ownership Verification Prepare to show proof of ownership—typically the vehicle’s title or registration and a valid government-issued photo ID—especially if no functioning remotes are currently available.</li> <li>Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will connect a diagnostic scan tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port. This tool communicates with the vehicle’s onboard computer system, enabling remote programming.</li> <li>Step 6: Enter Programming Mode via Diagnostic System Using the scan tool, the technician will initiate the remote programming procedure. The vehicle will enter a mode that allows new fobs to be stored and old ones to be erased if necessary.</li> <li>Step 7: Program Each Remote Individually Each remote is added to the system one at a time. The technician will verify proper operation by testing lock, unlock, and other remote-specific functions.</li> <li>Step 8: Save Settings and Exit Programming Mode Once all key fobs are successfully programmed, the technician will save the configuration, exit programming mode, and disconnect the diagnostic equipment.</li> <li>Step 9: Test Remote Functionality Test each fob thoroughly to ensure it operates all necessary functions, including locking and unlocking doors, trunk release, and any auxiliary features.</li> <li>Step 10: Secure a Spare Remote Fob It’s advisable to keep an additional programmed remote in a safe place in case the primary remote becomes lost or nonfunctional.</li> </ul>
