I'm starting a new thread as I don't see one for the 3rd gen of the GS.
I have a master key, but want additional keys to be programmed to my vehicle.
So, I bought 2 additional transponders online. After going to my local dealer, they were unable to program these keys because one has been paired to another vehicle and another is for a hybrid vehicle. Both have the same FCC ID and the same IC #.
Is this true, that once a key is programmed, it cannot be re-programmed to another vehicle?

Thanks.

 

I read that this is the case with the credit card transmitter but not the regular key fob as long as its the correct part # for your car. Never tried to confirm...

Call another dealer and ask them or PM a vendor on here to confirm.

 

once a smart key has been programmed to a car, it cannot be programmed to any other car.

 

So all of the ebay sales for used ones are pretty much scams?

 

I called my service advisor and he told me as long as its the same part numbers it can be reprogrammed to another car..

 

I can't seem to get a definite answer on this.
From my computer knowledge, a key fob should bee able to reset or clear previous data and input new data.

 

i would love to get an answer to this as well, i just got a gs350 and only have one key
