My remote died so I installed a new battery now it wont work again becuase it needs to be re-programmed....well I went to the dealership last night it was late so the service dept. was closed but they estimated me a range from 50-100$ to reprogram? what does this consist of?

$100 definetly is high. We charge a half hour which is about $45. You need both keys and sometimes it takes several attempts. If it is not working, you might have a dead remote. But you should not pay $100

The wait 40s part is only if the doors DO NOT LOCK / UNLOCK. The instructions on that 4th page of the DIY thread worked for me. Try looking over the steps again, forget the boxes on the side.
