Does this item come with programming instructions or do you have to take it to a dealer for programming?

I bought this item. It's in great condition, but I have to go to a dealer to have it programmed. I read that most locksmiths can program these. I called over 20 local locksmiths and not one can program these keys. The local dealers charge you an hour of labor (in NJ that's $109) to program the key. This does not include cutting the metal key and they must have the car and all keys to program the new key. It's much cheaper than buying the smart key from a dealer (over $300), but it's not as cheap and simple as they make it sound.

Need to be programmed by the dealer but it is a lot cheaper than ordering everything from the dealer.

You have to go to the car dealer or a locksmith to have it programmed. The locksmith is usually less expensive.

Yes this one has not been programmed, just use your key and go to any dealer to connect code

It comes with a link to a website with instructions. I had to put my key in the ignition and turn it on and off something like 10 times in rapid succession until I heard a beep, then I pushed a button on the fob and it was programmed. I don't remember the exact details, but it was easy and it worked the first time.

No, everything I found said that you have to take them to your dealer to have them programmed. Which I did and even though the model numbers matched the original FOB, my dealer reported they would not program. BUT I did find out that my original FOBs were covered by the extended warranty, so I have had both the original ones replaced by the dealer for free.Sorry.

Yes. However, I couldn't get it programmed following online instructions, and had to take it to the dealer for programming.

Yes, either way, if you have a remote or no remote need to take it to dealer to get programmed. Probably cost @ $50.00 w/o remote maybe a little cheaper if you have one.

You still have to go to the dealer for programming and only one of the two I bought worked. Save time and hassle and just buy one from the dealer

No you literally just program it in the car no code needed the instructions are in the car Manuel or even google it

You need 2 programmed keys to program it yourself, if you only have one then you would have to go to a locksmith or the dealer to get it programmed.

No just the instructions that come with the remote. Those worked for me to program the new remote

It came with programming instructions; however, it did not come with required chip that allows the ignition to turn over- so it was a waste of money

I cant remember if it came with the battery or not, but you do need to take it to the dealer to get it programmed if you don't already have the original FOB

You can do it yourself. I ordered one for a friend, and helped him program it...just follow instructions.

You will most likely have to go to the dealership. I had to for a charge of $25.00. They have to hook into the onboard computer to program all the features.

I went to the dealer and it took them about 5 min to program. The dealer did not charge me but I had been there recently on another issue.
