Programming spare keys
You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.
Tips:
• A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
• Only use Securilock keys.
• You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that
already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed
key(s) readily accessible.
• If no previously programmed coded keys are available, you must take
your vehicle to your dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.
1. Insert a previously programmed
coded key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from the 3
(OFF) position to the 4 (ON)
position. Keep the ignition in the 4
(ON) position for at least one
second, but no more than 10
seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF)
position, and remove the coded key from the ignition.
4. Within ten seconds of removing the previously programmed coded key,
insert the other previously programmed coded key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second but not
more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position, and remove the second key
from the ignition.
7. Within twenty seconds of removing the previously programmed coded
key, insert the unprogrammed key (new/valet key) into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second.
9. Your new unprogrammed key is now programmed.
If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle’s
engine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds and
then go out. If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start
your vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off
rapidly. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealer to have the
new key(s) programmed.
To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure
from step 1 for each additional key.[Broken External Image]:

Thanks!
Oh, by the by, I found the lost ST key, I left it in a vehicle at the local United Rentals. Guys there know me so they held on to it...for 2 weeks!
Forgot to call me as soon as they found it:wacko:!!
Never went thru anything else regarding replacing it, just removed the one for the remote starter.
Figured since I was going into the dealers for an oil change I'd just get them to cut me one - $35.00.
Thanks Again!!
