Procedure | |
First, you need a blank transponder key for your model and year. You can get one | |
for 10$ or so through eBay or Amazon. Then, have the key cut by your local | |
hardware store and make sure it fits your ignition lock: you should be able to | |
turn it all the way to the start position and hear the starter going without | |
the engine turning on. With the master key (the black key, not the valet key, | |
which is grey) and the copy in hand, install yourself in the driver’s seat and | |
follow the procedure carefully. It took me about 30 minutes and many tries to | |
get the steps right as there is timing involved. Persevere and and it should | |
work. | |
1. Insert the MASTER key in the ignition 5 times, leaving it IN the ignition on the | |
5th time. Do not turn the key. Don’t rush that step, do it slowly. | |
2. Open and close the driver’s door 6 times, leaving the door closed on the 6th time. | |
(the two first steps have to be completed within 30 seconds) | |
3. Remove the master key from the ignition. The security light should now be solid | |
red to indicate programming mode. If it’s not, repeat from the beginning. | |
4. Insert the new key in the ignition but don’t turn it. Do that step quickly as | |
the computer only stays in this mode for a couple of seconds. | |
5. The security light will resume blinking. After 60 seconds (maybe more, be | |
patient), the light will stop blinking and turn off. | |
6. Remove the new key, insert the master and turn the engine on and then off. | |
7. Done! Test your new key. When you insert it, the security light should stop | |
blinking and the car should start. |
