I don't even know what the problem is now. Started with car doesn't respond to fob at all, then something about the alarm when they unlock with key after lock with fob. IK quit watching after page 3.

the buttons also appear to be collapsed maybe the tin foil trick can help him. the contacts are probably bad and not making contact. or just order the buttons.

Key Fob buttons

Hey, I saw something about the contact area on the circuit being insulated by dirt and grime, so I used a sandpaper to lightly take the dirt off and make the contact area shine golden. Apparently I've used a rubber button of another home device (took it out and placed it on the fobs circuit) and as I held it in place and pressed the button it worked. My remotes button seem to be the problem. I also heard someone say here that there is foil trick or sth like that to help the process.
Could it please be explained further?

a. glue bits of metal foil to the pad
b. get a new pad from Ebay/Amazon etc
c. something called "keyless fix" on ebay.

Get new rubber pads for your remote off eBay... Better fix that trying the foil trick.

No, fobs cannot be programmed. The vehicle is programmed to accept the fob.
