programming remote on aps-996

I'm going off of memory here so, just double check me.

You need to have the blue wire grounded or your hood opened.

Turn the ignition on,  hit valet button 3 times, then press the lock and unlock button on the new remote at the same time.  Turn the ignition off, close the hood or unground the blue wire and then test.

This should automatically program all of the functions of that remote. 

I dont think rabenoja is right on this one (Ive never heard of that technique) but I think sk8ingsmurf is doing it correctly. Just one thing is that a door does need to be open. I have a 996C and had a 996 this sequence works for both of them. Open a door, turn the key on, push the valet button 3x, hit lock, push it again, and hit unlock, push it again, and hit the remote start button, push it again, and hit the option button, push it again, and hit channel 5, push it again, and hit channel 6, push it again, and hit channel 7. If you dont have anything hooked up to the option, channel 5, 6, or 7 then you can stop at the rs button. Also the siren will chirp after every button push (95% sure on the chirps) like once for the lock channel twice for the unlock channel etc. then after you program each channel a short siren blast will be heard. Also i know you said you were 100% sure the new remote was compatable but just double check that the model number on the back of the old one is the same as on the new one. There are two versions of that remote out there (at least that i know of) one is the 5BCR03 (this one works with the 996C and I think the 996A) and i think the other is the 5BCR or 5BCR01 (this one works with the 996)they are not interchangable. They usually light up different colors the 03 usually lights up amber and the 01 usually lights up a blue/green color.
