Default verifying delete key procedure

Hi all,

I have an 09 and i think I maxed out number of keys programmed. I came across some posts stating that if programmed keys are maxed out it will automatically remove the oldest programmed key and some said to clear all the programmed keys. I think the later one is accurate because I have 4 programmed keys now and want to add an uncut key.

I found these instructions below. Has anyone use it?

- Delete all keys other than present master key
1. Make sure all windows are rolled up and all doors are shut.
2. From outside the car LOCK the car door with the key.
3. From outside the car UNLOCK the car door with the key.
4. Enter vehicle and close all of the doors and do not lock them.
5. Start the car’s engine.
6. Turn engine off and remove key.
7. Simultaneously depress and release brake and gas pedals 1 time.
8. Place master key in the ignition lock. (DO NOT TURN ON.)
9. Within 15 seconds press and release the gas pedal 6 times.
10. Within 20 seconds, forcefully press and release the brake pedal 7 times. The Security light will blink.
11. Within 10 seconds, remove the master key. All other keys should be deleted from the car’s computer.

Delete all keys other than present master key (ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURE)
1. Make sure all windows are rolled up and all doors are shut.
2. From outside the car LOCK the car door with the key.
3. From outside the car UNLOCK the car door with the key.
4. Enter vehicle and close all of the doors and do not lock them.
5. Turn the ignition switch from LOCK to ON 6 (six) times.
6. Open and close Drivers side door 7 (seven) times within 35 (thirty five) seconds of turning the switch.
7. Within 10 seconds, remove the master key. All other keys should be deleted from the car’s computer.

Okay I used the alternate procedure and it worked for my 09. I was able to program a total of 5 keys. so maybe 09 model supports 5 instead of 4.
