I have only one usable key, so I bout a blank key with remote fob on ebay
and plan to get the metal cut from a locksmith for $60. He says I might need
to also have the transponder portion of the key programmed for it to start
the car (not the remote portion which opens the doors, I know how to do
that). How can I tell if I also need this transponder programmed?
Thanks,
Don

this might work but I can't be sure,
put the key in the ignition and turn it clockwise.
if you hear something mechanical wiiirrrring under the hood and no sirens
sounding then I would say it does not need programming.............but don't
hold your breath.

What he means is your car has an immobilizer. The car will not start after
you cut your key. ONLY the dealer can reprogram that key (online) via
their central hub. Expect to be charged around an hour for labor.

*Wrong*, and what a useless series of posts. A newly cut key can b
adapted if the PIN is known. That PIN can be acquired through the RB
encrypted cluster or from the ECM. Either way, the PIN is the same i
both of those controllers.
FYI, you don't need to go to the stealership. Data can be read from th
24c08 in the cluster or the 95040 in the ECM.

AND how is this done? How do you get to the 24c08 in the cluster or the
95040 in the ECM?
What tool would one need to do this?

There was a guy that did an amazing job for me. He cut the key an
programmed the remote. He does this out of his house. If you give m
your number i can pass it on to the guy i dealt with. The only thing i
that he is located in Oakville. His prices are way cheaper than an
dealership..

A little too far for me, but thanks! ;-)
Do you know how he dealt with matching your key to the immobilizer?
