This does not mean that a new remote key cannot be programmed without the old one, it only makes things easier and faster if you have the old one.
Now insert the first programmed key into the ignition and then rotate it to the ”ON” position and then return to the ”OFF” position
Immediately after step two, you can now remove the first key and insert the second programmed key. This must be done within five seconds of removing the first one.
Repeat the same process as you did for step 2, but with the second programmed key.
Once you remove the key, you can now insert the new within 10 seconds of removing the second programmed key. Rotate it to the ”ON” position for only one second and then rotate it back to the off position.
After the step 5, at this point, you can now wait for the security light to turn on which will normally stay for about three seconds before you remove the new key.
You have now successfully reprogrammed your car key.
