Well, after ordering three remotes from ebay and having none of them work...I discovered 09s and 10s require new remotes and dealer programming. (Valet keys sold separately.)

I ordered a brand new key off internet for $39.00. It still cost $28 for the programming and $27 for the new valet key....and $1.73 administration charge. I think they threw that last one in because I didn't buy the remote from them. I bought my keyless entry remote from Jakesbargins. Yep...that is the way it is spelled.

Still much cheaper than the dealers quoted price of $150 just for the remote.

I have two 08 remotes and 1 supposedly 08 through 10.

I have read instructions they can be re-programmed before 09 but who knows?

If you need them let me know.

well if u read my other post i have a 10 yr and i had 2 originals that i did the programing myself. but you need 2 keys to program the 3rd. and system holds 8-10 spots for keys total.

 

Thanks. Did you use a new unprogrammed key or was it used? I was told by the technician that after a remote unit had been programmed it could not be used on 09 or 10.

 

yes i beleive if the remote was already programmed this method i think you caint re program it for another vehicle. think they did this as a security measure. not sure if dealer can with there special tools but that too ive heard, you need a virgin new key.

 

Thanks for the information. It was very helpful.
