Programming a Spare Key
Hello all
We recently lost one of our keys to the '99 and had to cough up the $85 or so dollars to have a new one cut and programmed.
The fella at the shop told my wife that we could do it ourselves as long as we had two programmed keys.
Can anyone here outline the process for me? I am creating a complete set of spare keys (PO Box, house, trucks, etc.) as being without one set is a bit inconvenient.
I did a search on this forum but could not find anything. Also, I realize that I could go and ask the local dealership, but like the fact that the folks on here have so much knowledge about these things (plus I like seeing it in print - I find it easier).
Thanks!
Chris

You always need to provide:
1) Exact details on your vehicle
2) Exact details on what you have done
3) Details of what you have observed

If you do need help solving the vehicle's problems, provide the technical details and we'll be happy to help.

Thank you 02 crew.
It's nice to see some professionalism in here and see some one in here actually try to help some one out without the sarcasim and the constant threat of people who suffer from LDS.
It's amazing how Alfa-Tuff you can be behind a key board.
