Hello,

Do you have a functioning master key?
If so adding additional key is fairly straight forward.

Adding Keys
First with you existing master key, turn On the ignition (do not start).
Then turn off the ignition and remove key.
After that within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, insert the key to be learned and turn on the ignition.
That will complete the process of adding a key (you can add up to 10)

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
