you can find em way cheaper than $20 on ebay. and its real easy to program it, directions are in your owners manual. i bought one on ebay for like $12 shipped, and it came with directions, and works great.

You can't program them yourself unless you have one remote to put the system in to program mode. Unless of course you have an EVIC in the overhead instead of an OTIS, and then you should be able to do it yourself without having one working remote.

How can you tell if you have an OTIS or EVIC?

here's a link to the one that i got

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...Q5fAccessories

thoght it put it here for thoose of you that want to replace one or want another one.it comes with instructiuons on how to program it and everything.you have to have an old one to program the new one.but i think if you just have the new one you can take it to the dealer and they can do it also(or locksmith?).i know it's cheaper than buying one from them and then have them program it
