Are you sure it wouldn't be easier to retrain your car to the new key fob? I've done that for Fords & Chevys w/ instructions from 3rd party key fob sellers. The instructions varied, but usually involved shorting two wires on the OBDII port or using a strange pattern of key-on/key-off/lock-doors/etc.<br>
