billywizzo Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 HiGot a spare key off ebay, got it cut and it works the locks/ignition but i cant seem to program the chip.I have a red key and a infra red remote key, both start the car fine.I tried the method in the FAQ and the turn on/off with red key and wait for red light to flash but it does not seem to work, no flashing red light.I was told it should go into a programming mode but i cannot seem to get it to go into it.Anyone got another way that is free or know what i am doing wrong.I have searched and read most posts about key programming but still no luck. It is a 1997 2L petrol galaxy. Cheers Bill Quote
