9. Test the new key.
Thanks...those are great information....I love my car & I will try do every work on it my self......I always found new scratches on my car after taking it to service....some mechanics loves leave wrenches & tools on the trunk or hood...

Let us know if you were successful in the programming! I am waiting for my key from ebay. I just want it for a spare. Do not care about the trunk release feature. The one I bought is just a transponder key.

Can not wait.

At what point do you use the non working un-programmed key? Should #6 below be the un-programmed key?
