Programming a master key
Whats up all. I just bought a spare master key (used) in ebay. Does anyone know if reprogramming is something I can do, and if so does anyone know the procedures to do it, or do I have to hand my wallet over to the dealership to get it done?

Press and release acceleraor pedal 1 time within 10 seconds. Security light

After one minute security light should turn off. Press accelerator pedal once within 10 seconds to complete the registration process.
Your new key should work!

...what does the bill say?? Not sure if you are jipped, but it's kinda hard to believe (or might not), considering they program it for free if you buy the key from them. Unless you didn't buy the key from them.

Not if it works...
Also - here's a old post I made. These were the step I took to program the new key. It's a 2 step programming.
