I have tried to program a Keyless Remote I got on eBay last week (Identical to the one I already have...all numbers everything...battery tested and working) and have tried the 5times from off to position II on my iginition without starting the engine and then pushing a button on each one of my remotes within a few seconds. Many many times of the above procedure with slight changes...(getting out and locking the car manually after the programming, etc.), but I have had absolutely no success. The old remote still works, but I'd like to have a working back-up. I should note that during no time during the above procedure did any light come on with the sensor on my dash.

Somewhere I read that the dealer has to program this, but a friend in the parts dept. at the local dealer confirmed for me that the above method should work and that there was no need for me to have them do it and spend the $$.

Any suggestions?...I'm very Frustrated.
