surprise in my cup holders after visit to dealer
#29
Since they replaced your computer the dealer probably cut and reprogrammed 2 new keys. Since they fit your ignition its doubtful they they belong to any other car. Try reprogramming for your car.
When you brought your car in to the dealer did you bring them 2 existing keys?

Question to those with a bit more knowledge than me on the subject... If the key has been programmed, can it be reprogrammed? I dont feel like driving all the way to the dealership and giving them keys to my car if they indeed could be used to start it...
Also, am I correct in the assumption that keys are cut differently for each car, therefor the fact that it works with mine (except for starting) would indicate that they are keys for -my- car, correct?
I mean, it only seems logical... unless we all have the same key that just needs to be programmed for each car (which would be retarded imo).

^ true - I was thinking more along the lines of locking yourself out of the running car, since that's the only way I've ever locked myself out. Which, in a way, is probably better for me b/c AAA makes you a priority if it's running!
oh, and how do you know?

The true test would be if your old keys work
The new ECU would have to be programmed to run the immobilizer system
I would hazard a guess that any old keys would have to be programmed to work again........and that they gave you two they had to use to program your old original key to work
