I re-read the owners manual and it only programs the remote. It looks
like it programs the new key not only to the alarm system but also the
open/close codes.

You do have to have the key programmed by the dealer. Will be
interesting to see what they do.

Sorry for my confusion and appreciate your setting it straight, Hayden.
