I just bought an '06 LX. It only came with 1 fobbed key and 1 valet key. I bought a second fobbed key and had a locksmith come out to program it. After struggling for about 20 minutes, he gave up and said he couldn't program it.

This van has an aftermarket remote start/keyless entry thing as well as a Guidepoint tracking system that is not turned on. I'm wondering if either of these devices is causing a problem with programing.

When you turn the ignition on, a key symbol is supposed to come on on the dash, right? That should be the OEM security light. Mine doesn't do that with any key, but it starts up fine.

Any ideas?

I got it figured out today. The person who installed the remote start bypassed the factory security. I ended up taking the remote start out completely and repairing the wiring that was modified.

Tomorrow I will get the new key programmed, hopefully.
