read my last post at the bottom of the thread that explains how to do it.

then print out this diagram and my last post and you can do it.

one more thing.. there are i believe 12 or 15 different chips in our keys. All the chip is, is a resistor. Take a multi meter and touch the negative and positive to the opposing sides of the chip and it should read somewhere between 1k and 15k ohms.

Find the correct amount of resistors that make up that amount of ohms and if it says something like 2.994 ohms you dont have to be exact with your resistors.. For example three 1k ohms would do the trick. Try to get within 50-100ohms. The resistors in the key are not exact. They are more within a range so as long as your close with the resistors then youll be fine.

dont sauder them first. just twist them together end to end..

-----------[]---------- --------[]---------


and twist. Thats my effort at drawing a resistor. Then wire them like i said and if you did it correct, when you turn your key the security light should come off. Then start it up. If it works, turn it off and sauder the twisted resistors end to end then wire them in and tape them.

Oh and by the way... Make sure you disconnect your battery. ha.
