Boa is one of the brand names under the parent company Directed Electronics, or "DEI." The Boa brand makes several models of key fobs. The 165B model is a remote starter, while the 265B model incorporates the remote starter with a keyless entry system. The steps for programming are the same for both models.
Step 1
Disarm your vehicles factory-installed alarm, if applicable. On most vehicles, this can be done by simply pressing the "Off" or "Disarm" button on the alarm. The alarm systems on some vehicles may be incompatible with the Boa keyless systems. To see if your vehicles alarm will need to be bypassed before programming, visit the Interface Module Look-Up on the Boa website (see Resource section).
Step 2
Move about 4 feet from your vehicle. The Boa product guide recommends this distance between the key fob and the rest of the system -- any closer, and the remote might not program correctly.
Step 3
Turn on the vehicles ignition.
Step 4
Wait 5 seconds.
Step 5
Press the "Prog" (program) button on your transmitter. Continue holding the button until your vehicles parking lights flash twice, signifying that the programming process has worked.
Program a second transmitter immediately after programming the first. Keep the vehicle turned on, press the "Prog" button on the second transmitter until the vehicles parking lights blink twice.
Tips
- The Boa 165B and 265B key fobs can be programmed only after successful installation of the unit, which requires accessing your vehicles engine and battery. To install the system, the battery must be disconnected. To program, you must follow the steps outlined above the first time you turn the ignition on after you reconnect the battery.
- If youre having problems with your Boa key fob, check the transmitters battery. The 165B and 265B models both use a type CR2032 battery, a miniature 3-volt.
