If you already have one programmed you can follow the steps outlined in your owners manual.

There are some websites that proclaim to have the means but will charge for the service. I can’t recall the websites names right now, but I’m sure someone here will know what I’m talking about.

If you don’t have an owners manuel you can go to Ebay and buy one. Thats what I’m having to do to be able to program the remote for my wifes car.
