Is it true that the keyless entry can changed by inputting the VIN into the pad? I cannot find the code under the dash.
 
no. BUT if the dealer is any good, they can get the number from the vin in the system. Just have a shop or locksmith scan it and get it for you.
 
The code is not under the dash. You have to pop up the defroster grill near the windshield. The box is in the middle and the code is on the sticker label on top. At least for the late 2000 models through 2005 models. But that is the default code that is always there and cannot be changed. You can add two, I think, additional codes by following these steps.
Programming a personal entry code To create your own personal entry code:
1. Enter the factory set code.
2. Within five seconds press the 1 • 2 on the keypad. (Use 2 fingers and press both, simultaneously)
3. Enter your personal 5-digit code. Each number must be entered within five seconds of each other.
4. The doors will again lock then unlock to confirm that your personal keycode has been programmed to the module.
Tips: • Do not set a code that uses five of the same number. • Do not use five numbers in sequential order. • The factory set code will work even if you have set your own personal code. • If you set a second personal code it will erase your first personal code.
Erasing personal code
1. Enter the factory set 5–digit code.
2. Press and release 1 • 2 then,
3. Press and hold the 1 • 2 for two seconds. This must be done within five seconds of completing Step 1. Your personal code is now erased and only the factory set 5–digit code will work.
