The procedure for reprograming a key,
1 insert key and turn on but do not start, then turn off.
2 wait 15 minutes, turn key on, but do not start, then turn off
3 wait another 15 minutes and you should be able to start engine and drive away. You also have the option to have the car towed to the dealership and let them reset it with their scanner.
