If you do take it to the dealer...make them get out the book so they can follow the procedure to the letter...if it isn't perfect...it won't work...and they have to keep doing it over till they get it right....that gets expensive. ( ask me how I know ) I had to read the manual and tell them what to do before they could get it to work
