You don't program the key you program the computer, however if you have the original key you can remove the antenna out of the key and make a new key and fit the antenna into the new key, the computer uses a small transmitter to ping the key in order for it to start, there is also a wire that attach's to the key to activate the transmitter once the key is inserted. To change the transmitter signal requires special scanners and the tools to change they keys pinging antenna. This information is only given out to dealers and Lock smiths as it is part of the anti theft system, there are many different disks thatare changed to ping back the frequency to the computer, with these new keys you can create thousands of keys with a different code and a different key cut. Before the advent of computerized key there wee only 7 key cuts that changed every 7th car so basically in theory your key would fit one in seven cars in a large parking lot so it made for finding a car and stealing easy. Some of the older keys had batteries in them but they figured out when the battery went dead you had a pull toy so they changed it to just have an antenna that bounces the signal back to the computer, this is a simpler way to explain this but give you can ideal of how it works, That's why they charge $100.00 to make two new keys, you have to cut the key to fit the lock then program the computer and test it that it works. Hope this helps you.

Followed Donnie Wilson's instructions and it worked!!!
