Silly question about power door lock actuator

Hello everyone,
If I put a new power door lock actuator on my S-Type do I then need to take the car to my local *********** to get the actuator programmed to my remote key fob?
Thank very much!

I don't think so, the actulator is a motor not part of the FOB.

No, the remote fob is separate and is programmed to the driver's door module. You are simply replacing the motor that cycles the lock.

Take care,
