There is a guide on the first page of the forum..
Which one are you talking about? The one that needs a good key to re-program a bad key?

Stole this from annother thread

You could also try to reprogram the remote. Here are the steps:

1. Place key in the ignition and cycle back and forth between position 0 and position 1 five times very quickly
2. Remove the key from the ignition
3. While holding down the unlock button, press the lock button 3 times and then release the unlock button. The doors should lock and unlock to confirm the programming.
4. If you have another key to program then repeat step 3 for the additional remote(s). The doors should lock and unlock to confirm the programming.
5. Turn on ignition to finalize"

Dont think you need to cycle in step 1. Should be enough turning it once to 1, and back. But you could try both...

So, that transfers the stored key programming in the X to the key? Didn't know that. Thanks ekvals! If it happens to me, I know exactly what to do.

5.500 + 13% tax,that included an engine itself with 115.000km,fairly good I guess.
