as long as you start with at least 2 "valid" keys it takes 10 seconds.

BTW the front comes off the new remote. the key and the remote are two different parts

the procedure is easy...do a search on the forum for it...don't get charged $80 from the dealer to do something that is so easy

snap-on, in another thread two vendors have been unable to get the actual key to be recognized. Can you confirm this?

Also, when you said the valet keys are the same, does that mean the '05 valet key activated ignition of an '04 car?

Just call them and ask the parts dept to punch up the part numbers.

As far as the valet key being the same part number that tells me they haven't incode/outcode range for the 05 model yr.
