That's the problem. It needs to be programmed but I managed to get it done at Lowe's. They have the ability to make copies of keys w/ chips so I asked the guy if he can clone my working key to this blank no charge. I told him the key lost its programming. I got if cut elsewhere for $2.before bringing it to Lowe's

No it has a blank chip in it and would have to be programmed.Took it to a lock smith and he charmed a fee for programming it.It was a lot cheaper than taking it to the dealership.

You must take the key to Lowe's and get it programmed there. They programmed mine for free. Just make sure to bring your original working key with you.

The keyless remote comes ready to program. you can find the procedure online. it's real simple turn the key on and off 8 times, you will hear the locks open up then press the lock button to complete the programming. done

It did require the dealer to program the key. With the cost of the key and having to have the dealer program it, the cost was still way less than buying directly from the dealer. I am very pleased with my purchase!

No, only the dealer can program a new key. I'd suggest checking several dealers for a cost to program and buying a key online rather than from the dealer.

Yes, it's very easy to program. Basically all you need to know is what kind you need. Meaning the 10 key or 8 key. Once you figure that part out you can program it yourself by taking the back off and putting in your code.

Should have come with the key, I only had 1 key so had a locksmith program it for me $60.00 in So. Cal.

You need a special computer program to program the new key fob. I called a local locksmith that had the program. The cost was $60 and it took about 15 minutes. He came to my location to program.

You need two keys to do it yourself otherwise you will need an automobile locksmith or dealer to do it for you. However, this key is still a good deal even if you plan to go to a dealer since a dealer will charge you $75-$100 for a new key and an additional $50-$100 to program it. When I got mine, I just took it to a local hardware store to have it cut and programmed it myself (since I had both original keys). If you have only one working key, go ahead and get this one, get it cut, and then take it to a dealer or locksmith for programming. At least you will only pay the dealer for the programming instead of paying for both the key and programming. Your savings should be about 50% over getting the actual key from the dealer.

You have to have your key for ignition to program. You can program yourself but a key will be required. Very simple instructions to program. Hope this helped.

No you don't need a new key how you will need a dealership or a locksmith to program it it is not self programmable.

Also as stated in someone else answer you need 2 that is not true. They only needed one key to program after it was cut.

no, I just had a small issue getting the box from my old key into the new shell. There was a small piece of plastic in the new shell that I had to cut away. Then all you have to do is have the new blank cut. All programming is in the box that you remove from the old key.

I had my keys programmed by the dealership. It only costs about $60.00. Hope this helps!!

Code keys are no longer needed. It should have been noted when you bought the product and on the packing slip as well.

yes, just a key case with uncut blade, no chips inside, you need to cut the blade in your local locksmith, take the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip) from original remote and place them to our key shell, then it is OK! There's no programming needed

The easy way to do it is take the key you bought to the dealership. They will program it for about fifty dollars. Cheapest way to go.
