When I needed to get a new key fob for my 06 I searched on here and did not find an easy explanation of how to program a new key fob except for the usual take it to the dealer or the you have to have two programmed keys already.
Well that is not true, it is literally a minute job to program a new key fob. So here is a simple explanation.
I apologize if this is on here someplace already.
First get your new key/fob. Look on eBay, I picked this one up for $59 shipped.

Next just straighten out a paperclip

Now find your data port which is by your right knee under the dash. What you will do is insert the paper clip into slot 1 and 4.

Now that you have these you are ready to begin. This is a sequence/timed event and you only have so many seconds to finish the next task. So first start by putting the key in the ignition, but do not turn it.
Within 10 seconds, insert the jumper into slot 1 and 4 in the data port.
Now push the hazard button 6 times.

Once you push it 6 times the doors will lock and unlock letting you know the car is now within program mode. Now push the lock button on your remote three times. Again the car will lock and unlock. Do this for all keys you want to have access to your car.
Once you are done with all the keys for your car simply pull the wire out and key out of the ignition.
Simple as that and you just saved yourself the hassle of going to the Stealership and a boatload of money.:runaway:
